Turkey's annual rate of inflation hit almost 80% in June — its highest level in about two decades. Consumer prices increased by 78.6% last month compared to June 2021, driven by the soaring cost of food and drink and transportation. Food prices have almost doubled in a year, while the cost of transport was up 123%, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute.

6月份，土耳其的年通货膨胀率几乎达到80%，达到了近20年来的最高水平。 受食品、饮料和交通成本飙升的影响，上月消费者价格较2021年6月上涨了78.6%。 土耳其统计研究所的数据显示，食品价格在一年内几乎翻了一番，而交通成本上涨了123%。

It is another grim milestone for a country that has suffered rampant inflation in recent months, and whose currency has lost more than 20% of its value against the US dollar since the start of this year. Turkey's economy is exposed to the same forces of global inflation as other countries, but President Erdogan's unorthodox economic policies have inflamed the crisis, as has the crashing lira, which makes imports much more expensive.

对于一个近几个月来遭受严重通货膨胀的国家来说，这是另一个严峻的里程碑，该国货币兑美元的汇率自今年年初以来已经下跌了20%以上。 与其他国家一样，土耳其经济也受到全球通胀的影响，但总统埃尔多安的非正统经济政策引发了这场危机，里拉（土耳其货币）暴跌也加剧了危机，导致进口商品价格大幅上涨。
