TR Economy & Updates

[AlperTunga]

Just to clarify my thinking a bit more. I am not discussing here economic benefits or costs of privatizing some suitable assets. My focus (government focus may be something else) is how can we quickly get substantial money directly or indirectly to cover our defense expenses in the next years.

Reducing unnecessary expenses and government spending is one way rather than selling strategic national assets, privatizing of which will cripple every aspect of life and economy like main roads.

Assuming of course the money obtained is not used for other less worthy (audis for government functionals?) purposes.

Of course it is. Government have an election to win in 2029 at the latest. Lead up to the 2023 election was a dagger in the heart of the economy.

Defence sector is not huge, Turkey spends less than 3% of its GDP on defence.
