Dr. Aslıhan Demir: BİM’s aggressive discount strategy can deliver a temporary inflation relief, yet the durability of price pressure depends on supply‑chain cost dynamics and competitors’ responses. While short‑term demand spikes support retail margins, strategic inventory management will be pivotal for medium‑term price stability.
