Murati also blames past governments for rising prices of basic products

According to him, past governments have not supported local producers.

As the reason for price hikes, he mentioned import until he ruled out the possibility of abuse.

It's disturbing for us as the Government to raise prices, we're monitoring the situation. This summer opening momentum and the removal of renewable energy should be taken into account, increased the price of electricity, and increased the price of these products that need electricity. This increase has also been due to import, since most basic products are imported. There may be cases of abuse, but these must confirm the Market Inspectorate.

There are price hikes in global markets as well. The lack of domestic production, the marginalisation of local production for two decades, and the orientation of governments past only for consumption, has much of the burden of why this is happening. In other countries, the price of electricity is 300 euros for megawatts, while in our country it is 30 euros, as KEK produces it for domestic consumption and is not exposed by global prices. There are many such countries behind, but past governments have privatised them as a burden from”, Murati said at KTV's interactive “”.

He has declared that the government has managed to take the first steps on this issue, until it says such work cannot be adjusted for a month or a year.

“What a Government can do when price hikes come from import. Increasing support for farmers to increase local production so that we are not so exposed by prices from abroad. This can't be done for a month, not a year, because this takes time. But we've taken the first steps to have a development of local producers”, Murati said.
