Diesel prices in Turkey crossed the 100-lira threshold following a second increase, Bloomberght reported on Thursday. The outlet described the move as the point at which the 100-lira limit was exceeded, and other Turkish outlets carried the same development.
Cumhuriyet called the change a historic threshold for fuel, reporting that diesel went above 100 lira. Sozcu.com.tr said the price boards at stations were changed at midnight, framing the increase as a historic one for fuel. Habertürk reported that diesel passed 100 TL with the latest increase and published updated prices by province. Diken also covered the increase under its fuel price coverage.
The reports center on diesel, referred to in Turkish as motorin, and describe the increase as the second one. The coverage does not, in the material available, specify the size of the increase or the mechanism behind it.
Coverage of the change came from several outlets. Bloomberght, Cumhuriyet, sozcu.com.tr, Habertürk and Diken all reported on the increase, with Habertürk pointing readers to new prices broken down by province.
What to watch next: whether further price adjustments follow, and how the new diesel level is reflected in the provincial price lists the outlets published.
