How did your country master the pandemic and how much have the local businesses suffered? Do you feel that people are much poorer than before covid spread? Are people hopeful for the future?
I live in Istanbul and the pandemic period was so severe for small businesses. Most of them were shut down for a couple of weeks and only the resturants were delivering your orders until midnight. Due to the decreasing purchasing power as well as the pandemic situation, many people suffered a lot until June. In the end, %10-20 of these local bussinesses no longer deliver services...
Both devaluation of the fiat money and the effects of pandemic ended up sad for people in my country. When I step into the main streets, I can clearly see that nothing is the same as 2 years ago. To be honest, I'm losing my hope for a turning point for the fiat money. We may even test new ATL levels against USD. In terms of people, they are hopeless.

Hope to see better days without these unskillful policy makers
