‘WE CONTINUE OUR WORK WITH A TEAM SPIRIT’

Nation Alliance economic staff made a joint written statement after the meeting.

Here is the description:

“In our meeting, we prioritized and determined the implementation schedule so that the economic steps included in the Common Policy Memorandum of Understanding announced on January 30 could be implemented without delay after the election.

We are aware of the picture that we will take as the National Alliance. However, we are aware of the qualified development perspective of our country, its strong growth potential and its innovative and dynamic entrepreneurial spirit.

We continue to work in full team spirit, with strong and effective coordination in the implementation of economic and financial policies.

‘A PREDICTABLE INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT’

First of all, we will present the problems and solutions in a transparent and realistic way to mobilize the enormous potential of our country.

With the steps we will take in the areas of the rule of law, legal certainty, the impartiality and independence of the judiciary, the guarantee of fundamental freedoms and a transparent, accountable and corruption-free public administration, we will lead Turkey to business reliable and predictable and investment environment.

We will restore confidence in the domestic and foreign markets by making our institutions strong and respectable with the competent, qualified, honest and experienced staff that we will appoint.

We will prepare the XII Development Plan, which will cover the 2024-2028 period, and the Medium-Term Program, which will cover the 2024-2026 period, in line with our goals and policies in the Common Policies Consensus.

‘WE SAVED US FROM CRUSHING AT THE COST OF LIVES’

We have completed our preparations for the Situation and Damage Assessment Committee, which will function as soon as I come to power. Thus; we will reveal the postponed and hidden deficits in the budget, the Turkey Wealth Fund, state-owned companies, public-private partnership (PPP) projects and public banks. We will subject transactions related to the non-transparent sale of Central Bank reserves to a thorough review and audit. We will quickly identify the concealment and distortions in the data published by TURKSTAT, especially on inflation. We will track public damage and corruption in all institutions to the end.

The prerequisite for strong, sustainable and inclusive growth is price stability. Within this framework, we will reduce inflation to single digits and prevent our citizens from being crushed by the high cost of living.

We will purify the Central Bank of political interventions and we will make it credible. Thus, we will pave the way for the Central Bank to use its tools to reduce inflation without being under pressure.

We will support the fight against inflation and financial stability with our financial, financial, agricultural, energy, industrial, commercial and other sectoral policies.

We will minimize the social cost of fighting inflation. We will effectively use social policies and programs to protect the most vulnerable in the fight against inflation.

‘READY’

We will quickly implement a comprehensive program that will end waste in the public sector.

With the economic and fiscal policies that we will implement, we will reduce the tax burden on workers, guarantee fiscal justice, improve income distribution, and strengthen the middle class.

With a next-generation development movement focused on social justice, the green revolution, and digital transformation, we will lead our country to a productive, internationally competitive, long-lasting, stable, and inclusive economy that leaves no one behind.

We are ready, let’s go Türkiye!” (PHOENIX)
