The highly anticipated Council of Ministers list was announced by President Erdogan the previous evening.
While wondering who will take the helm of the economy in our country, which has been struggling with a serious economic crisis in recent years, Mehmet Şimşek was appointed as the Minister of Treasury and Finance again.

"Turkey has no choice but to return to a rational basis. A rule-based, predictable Turkish economy will be the key to achieving the desired prosperity. We will prioritize macro financial stability by strengthening our institutional quality and capacity in a conjuncture where global challenges and geopolitical tensions increase," Şimşek said. While these words of Şimşek draw attention as a heavy criticism of the past, the citizens will have no choice but to wait for the result of a trial and error.
