The fluctuating hours of the Turkish Lira in the focus of exchange rates are at the center of the agenda. Petrol Ofisi also responded to the calculation allegations on social media.
The messages of the increase in exchange rate-oriented automobile prices in April, which we left behind, were reflected to the consumers with concrete steps with the transition to May. The negative momentum of the Turkish Lira against the exchange rate continues in today’s world where many models are experiencing very serious transitions. Particularly, the widening of the gap between the Central Bank values and the numbers on the street has been on the agenda as the central item of the last days. After the restrictions on credit cards and loans in the banking sector, the uncertainty of the selection process is also decisive in this equation. The reflections of the process, in which a new price formula such as “Central Bank Rate +1.50 TL” was brought to the fore, on the fuel sector are also inevitable. Finally, an explanation came from official channels regarding the calculation, which came to the agenda through Petrol Ofisi. In the message, it was stated that there is no such calculation criterion for now.

“As Petrol Ofisi Group, based on our unconditionally transparent governance approach, we felt the need to make a statement based on the messages on social media and on the websites of some news outlets that “Petrol Ofisi makes its payments and sales with the Central Bank Rate +1.50 TL”. The shared text does not reflect the official view of the group. The reference rate announced by the CBRT in our prices reflected to the consumer remains valid as in the past.”
