TikTok users in Turkey have started a new trend on the social media platform featuring the image and voice of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Citizens have posted videos of themselves counting money but then hiding it when an image of Erdogan appears behind them.
The video is accompanied by the voice of Erdogan who says “Take out the foreign exchange and gold from under your pillows”.
The “gold” under the pillow is one of the traditional saving methods of the Turkish people. With depleted Central Bank reserves and upcoming foreign debt payments, government officials have been trying to convince people to put their money into the banks.
