- 'We are receiving signals that we have entered deglobalization period'
Minister Muş pointed out that we have been struggling with the prolonging problems in the global economy caused by the disruptions in the universal supply chains and supply-demand imbalances that started with COVID-19. Minister Muş also said that the war in Ukraine caused dramatic increases in both energy and agricultural products prices and increased the fluctuations in the markets.

Minister Muş expressed that as a result of aforementioned developments, record-breaking inflation in many developed countries has become a major dilemma for humanity. He added that the globally announced data in recent weeks and the policies declared by many countries to fight inflation show that the possibility of a slowdown in the global economy is getting stronger.

In this regard, Minister Muş stressed that we need solidarity and cooperation more than ever for the solution of global problems.
