Vice President optimistic about inflation control by mid-2025

Speaking at an iftar program in Elazig on Saturday, Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz expressed confidence in the country's economic recovery, highlighting anticipated improvements in inflation by June 2025.

Addressing citizens before the iftar, Yılmaz underscored the nation's political stability, attributing it to the foresight and sagacity of the people. "For the first time, we surpassed the trillion-dollar mark in our economy," he remarked, reflecting on recent electoral outcomes and the ensuing political trajectory.

Yılmaz commended the populace for their discernment and steadfastness, asserting that the government swiftly formulated plans upon assuming power.
