Inflation in Northern Cyprus surged to 4.06% in April, marking a notable increase driven primarily by sharp price hikes in food and lottery tickets. According to the latest data released by the TRNC Statistics Office, the rise in consumer prices reflects growing economic pressures, particularly in essential sectors.
Food prices were the primary contributor to the inflation spike, with significant increases in the cost of everyday staples such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. These hikes have raised concerns among residents, as the cost of living continues to climb, impacting households across the region.
Additionally, lottery ticket prices saw a sharp increase, adding to the overall inflationary pressure. Experts suggest that the price adjustments in both sectors have compounded the financial strain on consumers, particularly amid the ongoing global economic challenges.
The 4.06% inflation rate in April marks a further acceleration in price growth compared to previous months, signaling potential economic instability in the coming months. Economists have called for urgent policy measures to curb rising costs and alleviate the burden on consumers.
As inflation continues to rise, residents of Northern Cyprus are bracing for more price increases, particularly in the food sector, where supply chain disruptions and rising production costs are expected to further affect affordability.
