Price growth in Turkey fell to its lowest in 49 months in December as the government pledged to bolster disinflation measures.

Annual inflation dropped to 30.89 percent last month, from 31.07 percent in November, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat).

Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages, transportation and housing increased by 28.31 percent, 28.44 percent and 49.45 percent year on year, respectively.

Twelve-month average inflation reached 34.88 percent in 2025, down from 58.51 percent in 2024.

The government will strengthen its fight against inflation through supply-side policies across social housing, food, logistics and renewable energy, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported. It cited a post by Cevdet Yilmaz, the vice president, on the social media platform NSosyal.

He said disinflation had strengthened due to decisive, coordinated steps to combat inflation and increased confidence in the government’s economic programme.

Finance minister Mehmet Şimşek said disinflation had spread across the economy.

“We will continue to implement our programme with determination until our ultimate goal of price stability is achieved,” Şimşek said in a post on NSosyal.

SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow

SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow

The post SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shiba Inu investors uneasy as Kusama’s silence fuels leadership concerns. SHIB slid 13% in three days, retracing from $0.00001484 to $0.00001305. Shibarium exploit and Kusama’s absence have weighed on investor trust. Shiba Inu investors are voicing concerns about the project’s long-term direction as leadership uncertainty and slow ecosystem progress erode confidence.  The token, which rallied from its meme-coin origins to become the second-largest meme asset by market cap, counts more than 1.5 million holders worldwide. But as SHIB matures, the gap between early hype and current delivery has widened.  The project’s transition into an “ecosystem coin” with spin-off projects and Shibarium, its layer-2 network, once raised expectations. Analysts now point to internal challenges as the main factor holding SHIB back from fulfilling that potential. Kusama’s Silence Adds to Instability Central to the debate is the role of Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous lead developer. Investors are concerned about the intermittent disappearance of the project’s lead developer, who repeatedly takes unannounced social media breaks.  For instance, Kusama went silent on X for over a month before resurfacing this week amid growing speculation that he had abandoned the Shiba Inu project.  Kusama returned shortly after the Shibarium bridge suffered an exploit worth around $3 million. However, he did not directly address the issue but only reassured Shiba Inu community members of his commitment to advancing the project.  Although most community members didn’t complain about Kusama’s anonymity in the project’s initial stages, his recent behavior has raised concerns. Many are beginning to develop trust issues, particularly because nobody could reveal the SHIB developer’s identity for the past five years. He has conducted all communications under pseudonyms. SHIB Price Action Reflects Sentiment Shift Market reaction has mirrored the doubts. SHIB, which spiked 26% at the start of September, has since reversed. Over the last…
