Inflation slightly falls in June while food prices remain high

Turkey's annual consumer inflation rate dropped slightly to 32.11% in June from 32.61% in May, according to TurkStat. However, food inflation remains extremely high at 34.86%, with housing, utilities, and transportation also seeing significant price increases.

Pension adjustments were announced, with retirees receiving a 17.76% increase, but many still struggle financially, with nearly 90% reporting they need to work to avoid poverty.
