Data from the credit card company JCC Payment Systems Ltd show that spending in the “occupied areas and Attaleia” (Antalya), using plastic cards issued in the Greek Cypriot part of the island, rose by 24.8% over the year earlier in September.

Total expenditure in that month rose by EUR 154,866 to EUR 779,477, compared with EUR 624,622 in September 2009.

I very much doubt it. We spend somewhere in the region of 100TL a day. That excludes going out for meals/drinks etc.

apc2010. I assume you have a grudge against expats. If that is so please explain why.

apc10 in message 1 you asked, excluding rent utility bills. We don't rent but have to pay utility bills etc, if I include utility bills we are paying closer to 200tl a week.



If you include the money we spend on other things it's getting closer to 1000tl a week into the local economy.



Can I ask you a personal question? Do you put that much money into the local economy a week?

I think most ex-pats use cash, not cards.

Having glanced at your avatar, from which your identity is 'a complete unknown', it is only natural to be somewhat suspicious of your motives for posing such a question on this forum - therefore you should expect mostly circumspect replies, which are unlikely to aid your cause - whatever that might be!

Most Brits spend cash and therefore it would be difficult to get a true comparitive.
