How do people in countries with very high inflation make big purchases (house, car etc.)?

295 viewsEconomicsOther

Thinking Argentina or Turkey in the recent years – if the local inflation is so severe that the price of grocery in the morning vs evening (on the same day) is different, how do people make large purchases like a house or a car? How is the price determined and who would provide the long term financing?

They make a lot of money and / or invest in high interest bearing assets (because inflation and interest are directly correlated).
