Diesel prices in Turkey exceed 100 TL per liter for the first time
Diesel prices in Turkey have surpassed the 100 TL per liter threshold for the first time in history following consecutive price hikes. A recent increase of 4.68 TL per liter, effective September 17, has pushed prices across many cities into triple digits.
In major metropolitan areas, diesel prices have reached new levels: Istanbul's European side is at approximately 100.40 TL and the Anatolian side at 100.20 TL. Ankara has seen prices rise to 101.50 TL, while Izmir has reached 101.80 TL. In Bursa, prices hit 101.40 TL, and some eastern provinces have reported prices as high as 103.20 TL.
The rapid rise in fuel costs is attributed to fluctuations in global Brent crude oil prices and exchange rate volatility. This trend has sparked significant concern among various sectors, including transportation and agriculture. Farmers have expressed distress over the rising costs of operating machinery, warning of potential declines in agricultural productivity. Additionally, political figures have criticized the economic impact of these increases on the public's purchasing power.
