G20 Inflation Tracker: Argentina and Türkiye Remain Inflation Outliers

Love Istanbul. Last time I went it was very cheap but now I hear it has gotten much more expensive. Something tells me inflation will start going back up after the election. But so will the blue dollar so as long as the blue dollar goes up more that is a plus for me although bad for locals.
 
I closely watch inflation across different categories. Inflation the last few months has been stubbornly going up. Beef prices has risen a whopping 67% in a year.
