As far as I understand Erdogan created the situation himself and fired everybody who would disagree. I don’t think he plans to get the inflation under control.

I never said he does. In fact, I have no insight into what he is thinking or doing.

My comment is only pointing out how destructive high inflation is.

Please don't attack a straw-man.

I did not read GP as attacking a point you (haven't) made. It's merely extra information.

Please assume good faith, otherwise discussions escalate into accusations.

Good point. Apologies to the author of the grandparent comment if I misinterpreted it!

In theory lowering interest rates is a good idea if you want to implement a debt brake but so far Erdogan never stopped deficit spending.
