Yes, and given his investments in housing construction (PulteGroup and much more), major personal stake in lower rates

Also, guess when they finally decided to raise rates? After Erdogan's reelection in 2023.

Despite 72% inflation in 2022, rates were kept in the 8-15% range under CBRT Governor Şahap Kavcıoğlu.

We can expect the same politicized monetary policy before the next Turkish elections (perhaps 2027).
