Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati made statements regarding the Turkish economy in the “2022 Evaluation of the Year 2023 Targets Program” at the Dolmabahçe Labor Office.
"In 2022, we foresee that our per capita income will exceed 10,000 dollars, and in 2023 it will increase to more than 12,000 dollars," Nebati said.
EYES LOOK AT OLD NUMBERS AGAIN
According to the current data, per capita income in 2023 is around 9,961 dollars. Considering the economic fluctuations throughout the year, it seems difficult even for the figure to rise to 10,000 dollars, and the figure announced by Minister Nabati brought discussions with it. While the controversial figure was on the agenda, the eyes were once again turned to the Medium Term Economic Program announced by the government in the past months.
THIS NUMBERS CAN BE REACHED IN 2025
According to the announced program, the per capita income is expected to be 10 thousand 71 dollars in 2023, 10 thousand 931 dollars in 2024 and 12 thousand 91 dollars in 2025. In other words, according to the program, it is stated that the figures announced by Minister Nabati can only be reached in 2025. On the other hand, considering the continuous updating of the inflation, growth, per capita national income, export and import targets of the MTP, the discussions regarding the targets are increasing.
NEBATI IS NOT TALKING LIKE THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Nureddin Nebati, who has been at the center of discussions with the statements he has made since the day he took office, added a new one to these statements, while some expressions that he had previously used in the public came to the fore.
Here are a few of those controversial statements:
"You are getting paid. What do you lose the most? You will be crushed by inflation. But I will lose all my existence if this doesn't work out"
"Economy is the sparkle in the eyes"
"Epistemological break"
"If we end, we will end together"
"Turkish lira is at its weakest right now, nowhere to go"
"Go to sleep now, wake up in 6 months. We will go to many different places."
