The graph shows inflation (consumer prices) between 1961 and 2010. As illustrated, the highest inflation rate occurred in 1980 and the lowest in 1968.

From 1965 until 2010, the average inflation rate in Turkey was just under 39.8 per cent. Inflation reached a historical high of 138.71 per cent in May 1980 and a record low of -4.01 per cent in June 1968. In 2005, the Turkish Lira was replaced by the New Turkish Lira, at an exchange rate of 1,000,000:1. The "New" was dropped from the name of the replacement in 2009.

Inflation in Turkey now stands at 8.57 per cent.

Considering the great value of this article alone, I find it useful and need to add something on my own. First of all, the reasoning is quite an essential thing to consider before talking about the straight facts, or facts which might seem obvious how to cum more. But it should be mandatory to cite various external sources used and to cite them properly. While this might look a bit pushy and directive penziony, it should be a primary thing to look at after reading any article. Thank you for your trial.
