The Turkish economy grew by 4.5 percent in 2023, above the Medium Term Program (MTP), exceeding 1.1 trillion dollars.
National income per capita increased to 13 thousand 110 dollars.
One third of the growth in 2023 came from investments in machinery and equipment that increased our productive capacity.
In line with our program, the balancing in growth that started in the third quarter of the year continued in the last quarter.
Indicators for 2024 indicate that balancing and improvement in the current account deficit continues.
We are moving towards our program goals

Thats only for Istanbul or even in other cities ?? In istanbul its normal when have so many people and emigrants just like im london . Then thats 5x increase its aslo bacause of lira just like with other products and servives .

We should compare it with other countries:

- London / 2200 pound Salary / 2000 rent) 90%

- Mosxow / 100 000 Rub/ 70 000 rent)70%

- Athens / 1200 Eur / 500 rent) 40%

- Sofia / 3000 bgn / 1000 rent) 35%

- Ankara / 30 000 TL / 15 000 rent 50%

(So its not that bad like in london but in london those who suffers are emmigrats because native are almost all rich

Is the number of newly constructed building same as in Istanbul? In Europe, it's hard to make a construction, here in Czech republic you apply for permit but it could take up to 5 years to get it, because you shouldn't suppose to change the aesthetics of the city and old buildings are protected. On the other side, everywhere in Turkey is a construction zone.

As someone who expected and predicted a massive devaluation past election, I predict no such devaluation will happen this time as reserves are better than last time (not good but still), monetary policy has changed for the better (although fdi hasn't improved) and monetary base expansion rate has slowed down (not enough).

Devaluation will accelerate, but to about twice what it is now and that for a couple of months. So I expect it to get to 38 in two months after the election but go back to being controlled to increase only by 1 tl every month. By the end of 2024, I expect it to be around 42.

 

[UkroTurk]

Don't worry for us.

This temp of rise is quite enough for us

AMK öyro 35'i geçti. Now there is no difference if currency doubled or tripled. Pensioners have been slaughtered. İmpossible to live with minumum wage. Wonderful.

What is the reason for the devaluation and how to prevent it?

Why LNG when we have a gas pipeline from Russia?
WTF???
