President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on April 7 vowed to protect the nation against rising inflation, reiterating his government’s goal to become among the 10 biggest economies of the world.
“As the Turkish economy is getting ready to become one of the world’s 10 economies, we have stated that we will not waste this opportunity with careless and thoughtless steps. We will get out of this business in a way that will not crush our citizens with inflation. We will be patient, persevere and fight together with our nation, and we will reach the result,” he said at a meeting with his party lawmakers.
Turkey’s economy, especially in terms of the regional situation, is integrated with the whole world, therefore, every development that takes place at a global level closely concerns the country, he said.
“High inflation rates and excessive prices are not solely our problem. Most of the European countries are faced with even worse situations than us, and the officials of even the most developed countries tell their citizens that their levels of welfare will fall,” Erdoğan stated.
“Nevertheless, none of them are, if not can be excuses that remove our responsibility towards our nation,” he added.
