Turkey’s central bank raised its projection for year-end inflation by nearly five percentage points, citing the higher costs of energy and other imports.
Governor Sahap Kavcioglu said Turkish consumer inflation would be around 65.2% at the end of 2022, up from the central bank’s July forecast of 60.4%, and slow to 22.3% next year.
Consumer inflation accelerated to over 83% last month, the highest level in more than two decades and more than 16 times Turkey’s official target of 5%.
