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.

You mean in 2027 not in 2029
The current sale is clearly geared towards having a massive surplus before the third or fourth quarter of 2027 for the early elections

2028 actually, 2029 was wrong. Per law, next general elections should be had no later than May 2028. But noone gives a shit about laws anymore so we'll see.

People shouldn't have to bear the burden of increased costs for at least a decade for one party's election campaigns.

If the elections occured in 2028, then Erdogan wont be allowed to run for a third term by law. However, according to some sites, if an early election is held, then Erdogan does have the right to nominate himself for a third round; i-e, if my info is legitimate
