The pro-government newspaper Yeni Şafak continues to target the economic management.

In today's report titled "Why is foreign currency not taxed," the newspaper included the phrase "A robbery system without equal in the world: Interest-foreign currency-inflation."

The report, which states that foreign currency trading should be considered commercial gain and taxed, noted: "The Central Bank's justification for dealing a blow to investment, production, and employment by keeping interest rates at 46% is that 'if interest rates fall, exchange rates will skyrocket.'"
