Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister, Lotfi Alwan said stabilizing prices is a key priority for his ministry this year.

Alwan tweeted on his official Twitter account today (Monday) that during this year the Ministry will fight inflation, secure permanent and high-quality investments, and open the door to enhance production and growth.
