(ZEROHEDGE) – Economists in Turkey may face up to three years in prison for publishing 'unofficial' data on indicators without first obtaining approval from the country's statistics agency, according to Bloomberg, which has seen a draft of the a law currently being drafted by the governing AK party.
The proposed legislation was set to be introduced to parliament this week, however two party officials speaking on condition of anonymity say there's further work to be done on it.
The move comes as blistering inflation followed an earlier slump in the value of the lira – while Turkish elections are just over a year away.
