  1. you forgot to mention the importance of "trimmed mean" and one-off occurrences and how one-off occurrences bump up the general inflation figure. e.g. Petrol prices also collapsed as cities locked down last year, and have since returned to pre-COVID levels. There were also big jumps in the prices of some fruit and some vegetables due to a shortage of pickers and heavy rainfall. They are also best seen as one-offs. The “trimmed mean” measure of so-called underlying inflation used to see through transient influences, was only 1.6% for example in Australia (vs the generally reported 3.8%). It’s a better guide to what is going on.

  2. Turkey is VERY much different and an anomaly due to the the central government having power to govern monetary policy, when in other countries they don't. There's a literal reason why they don't as it means people who don't know economics like Erdogan, can't wreck the economy.
