Dr. Aslıhan Demir: This seasonal skin‑care campaign by BİM supports a short‑term surge in consumer spending but has limited macro‑economic impact. Price competition in the retail sector can slightly ease inflationary pressures, yet it does not significantly alter long‑term consumer confidence or investment decisions. The short‑term fluctuations in consumer behavior may reflect market volatility, but they are not broad enough to affect macro‑level stability.
