Wealthy

Answer
In debt, Suleiman II inherited an empire facing severe financial challenges. Years of conflict, lavish spending, and an influx of precious metals from the New World had led to inflation and a decline in the value of the Ottoman currency. The treasury was depleted, and the state struggled to pay its soldiers and maintain its infrastructure. Immediate measures were needed to stabilize the empire's finances and restore its economic strength.
