“We want to permanently elevate Türkiye to the league of high-income countries”
Holding a press conference following the Presidential Cabinet Meeting, President Erdoğan said: “We will inshallah become a $1.9-trillion economy by the end of 2028. Our national income per capita will reach $21 thousand for the first time. We want to permanently elevate Türkiye to the league of high-income countries. We are determined to bring inflation down to single digits. We will create employment for 2.5 million more people during the programme period. We hope to reduce unemployment below 8 percent. The permanent recovery in our current account deficit will continue. Our goods exports will surpass $300 billion for the first time.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech following the Presidential Cabinet Meeting at the Presidential Complex.
“We have largely accomplished the targets designated in the medium term programme. And today, we have shared with our nation the new medium term programme that will shape our country’s next three years. Preparations of the programme have been conducted with a comprehensive approach. A strong and decisive roadmap, which takes into consideration the opinions of the business world and real sector representatives, has emerged as a product of collective wisdom,” President Erdoğan said.
Stressing that this programme does not consist of mere figures but rather lays out a vision to permanently raise the people’s welfare, President Erdoğan went on: “Thanks to the programme, we will not only grow in the next three years but will also outperform the growth of the global economy and our trade partners. As you will remember, we joined the league of $1-trillion economies in 2023 for the first time. We have now put the bar higher. We will inshallah become a $1.9-trillion economy by the end of 2028. Our national income per capita will reach $21 thousand for the first time. We want to permanently elevate Türkiye to the league of high-income countries. We are determined to bring inflation down to single digits. We will create employment for 2.5 million more people during the programme period. We hope to reduce unemployment below 8 percent. The permanent recovery in our current account deficit will continue. Our goods exports will surpass $300 billion for the first time.”
