Roundup: Turkish retailers heed gov't appeals to freeze prices amid high inflation-
Turkey's unusual request that its retailers partially freeze prices ahead of elections has prompted some supermarkets and industry groups to warn they could only do so for a short period.
After almost six months of public calls from President Tayyip Erdogan's government, the country's largest market chains began a month-long price freeze and some cut prices this month. Yavuz Altun, chief executive of 200-store chain Happy Center, said discounts for shoppers will depend on how much more the chain had to pay its suppliers.
