fiyat

Fiyat is the monetary value assigned to a good or service in Turkish and is used to express what must be paid to obtain it. In everyday commerce, it serves as both a price tag and a signal of value for buyers and sellers.

In economics, fiyat acts as a price signal that reflects scarcity, production costs, and perceived value. Prices adjust as supply and demand change, guiding resource allocation and the distribution of goods and services across markets.

How fiyat is determined: the interaction of supply and demand, marginal costs, competition, taxation, subsidies, exchange rates, and expectations about the future. Market structure, information, and bargaining power also influence the final price paid by consumers.

Common forms include fixed or sticker prices set by producers, negotiated prices in markets, wholesale prices for intermediaries, and dynamic prices that change over time or with demand. Prices may be expressed per unit, per quantity, or in different currencies depending on the market.

Governments may impose price controls such as ceilings or floors for essential goods, or use subsidies, taxes, or price reference systems to influence fiyat and stabilize markets. Regulatory measures aim to protect consumers, ensure fair competition, or address shortages and inflation.

Prices are measured and analyzed through indices such as the consumer price index (CPI) and producer or wholesale price indices. These measures track inflation and price movements across sectors, informing policy, business strategy, and household budgeting.

In practice, digital platforms and retailers increasingly employ dynamic pricing driven by algorithms, competition, and consumer behavior, making fiyat more fluid in modern markets.
