‘The Centre’s rhetoric disturbed us! Allegation that pressure will be put on Erdoğan after the election

Journalist Erdal Sağlam stated that the Central Bank’s statement that ‘TL will continue to appreciate’ disturbed exporters.

Stating that the exporters will remain silent for a while in order not to leave the government in a difficult situation, Sağlam said, “Now they are silent in order not to leave the government in a difficult situation, but it is clear that they will talk after the election. Beyond the speech, it is also obvious that they will put pressure on President Tayyip Erdoğan, who will make the decision.”

The relevant parts of 10 News writer Erdal Sağlam’s article are as follows:

“In fact, it seems that there is serious resistance not only regarding credit cards or loans, but also almost every measure that needs to be taken.

“IT WILL MAKE DECISIONS DIFFICULT”

We know that exporters are disturbed by the Central Bank’s statement that ‘TL will continue to appreciate’. Now they are keeping silent so as not to put the government in a difficult situation, but it is clear that they will talk after the election. Beyond the speech, it is obvious that they will put pressure on President Tayyip Erdoğan, who will make the decision. Many objections like this will make it difficult for the economic management to make the necessary decisions.

“STATEMENTS AGAINST THE LIMITATION HAVE STARTED TO BE MADE”

Both employees, tradesmen and retail sector representatives have recently begun to say ‘don’t do’ to the credit card and consumer loan restrictions planned by the economic management. Banks also participated in this and started making statements against the limitation in order to prevent the complete closure of this channel from which they made good profits.

At this point, the importance of credit cards and consumer loans in continuing the demand and shopping in the market has increased significantly. Not only consumers but also shopkeepers shop with credit cards and try to spread the cost over time. That’s why broad segments of society are united in preventing cuts to be made.”
