https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-plans-wage-hikes-tax-cuts-low-income-families-hit-by-inflation-2021-11-01/ Government is working on tax cuts and wage hikes for low-income families, which is long overdue. Apparently the hikes and cuts are supposed to offset the inflation. But...

CAATSA is a law, and those US senators can demand (result of good lobbying) whatever they demand. If the US exempt the Indians from the sanctions, thats when you get furious and rightfully so, but not because some senators demand something. Thats something thats ordinary and has no implications.

Russia proving again and again that its not a trustable partner.

All the gains right now are because of the devaluation of the lira, what happens when it stops? Clearly this is not an economic strategy that has been thought through or maybe it is and the issues will have to be solved by the next government and the next generation.

This export success is build on the shoulders of employees that have effectively been earning less and less because of the inflation and no real wage hikes to compensate. The people are suffering and eventually wages will have to rise once the employees are sick of it, which will then again heat...

Medium-sized and family-owned companies are usually best for Stakeholders and a good middle class with a good income. Once companies reach the size of Koc, Sabanci and the likes they usually only ever care about shareholder value. This is just my personal observation.

You think they would let the billion € dam just rot? Its already there, not a project anymore. This is one very overlooked conflict. It boggles my mind how the Tigray that represents 6-7% of the total population is able to expand like that. And to be honest I have little knowledge about the...

Fixed in dollar and lots of it is from LNG which is usually paid in spot market prices, so high right now.

1. regarding NATO: of course, NATO will get involved if Russia ever attacks Turkey. Some countries might decide not to get involved, like Greece in Yugoslavia, but not taking action will mean the end of NATO. That will simply not happen. 2. The Americans have left Northern Syria mostly anyway...

Hydro dropped probably because of the draught last year.

I'm in favor of never quoting that source again.

I dont think its the right time for an operation to begin with but attacking Ayn-al-Arab will get the biggest exposure internationally. I dont think thats going to fade well with how delicate things are right now with the economy. I would favour more drone strikes for now.

France was always in favour of appeasing Russia.

A piece by Ukrainians FM for the Atlantic Council: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/strong-ukraine-turkey-partnership-holds-the-key-to-black-sea-security/ Interesting parts: we're apparently interested in co-development of Antonov aircrafts and acquiring some firefighting...

Central Bank basically confirming that they are lowering the interest rate and thus the value of lira so Turkey can become a manufacturing hub. https://www.ft.com/content/1e5c1546-5253-47ea-8577-d7e2be3dba49 So instead of developing and exporting high-value products they basically gave up...

With the Turkish police, the thing is they will be on your side if you find a good police officer or if you are the right kind of foreigner. I honestly enjoyed driving Uber in Turkey when it was allowed, the people were nice and the prices were transparent. There should be a local Uber-ish...

I think you should seriously consider reading a bit about what you just said. There is no such thing as endless wind or sun (at least not in our living times). Its called renewables for a reason.

@everyone thread is about the economy of Turkey, not your personal spending and not about anything else. Lets stick to the topic and be civil.
