Eskinazi: “Cost increases are worrying”
Stating that Turkiye has become the centre of attraction for the whole world after the pandemic, Aegean Exporters’ Associations Coordinator Chair Jak Eskinazi said that they do not experience a demand-side problem in export markets and that they have difficulties in keeping prices because they have entered an inflationary environment.
Eskinazi warned exporters to be more careful while giving prices and said, “Annual inflation figures have reached 115 percent in producer prices, according to TURKSTAT. In such an inflationary environment, our exporters may face a capital erosion (meltdown) if they cannot make the right cost calculations in an environment where huge hikes in energy and raw material prices occur every day.”
