The price of Ramadan pita has been set. Halil İbrahim Balcı, President of the Turkish Bakers Federation, announced how much the pita will cost during a live broadcast.
Accordingly, he announced that in Istanbul and Ankara, 250 grams of Ramadan pita will be sold for 15 liras, and 300 grams for 18 liras.
Eğilmez shared a notable comment regarding the announced pita price hike.
Eğilmez commented on the pita price increase by saying, "Shrinkflation + greedflation is at play. It's unclear whether we are buying pita or taking an introductory economics course."
Here is the social media post by renowned economist Mahfi Eğilmez:
Stating that "Last year, 300 grams of Ramadan pita was offered for sale at 10 TL," Eğilmez used the expressions, "Shrinkflation + greedflation = Multiflation. It's unclear whether we are buying pita or taking an introductory economics course."
