Erdoğan vows to maintain Turkey's struggle against interest rates and inflation

"You know of my battle with interest rates. We are lowering interest rates and we will lower them. Know that inflation will fall too then, it will fall more. Exchange rate will stabilise and inflation will fall, prices will fall too, all of these are temporary," Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told supporters in the Black Sea province of Giresun on Saturday.
