Turkish political critiques of economic conditions

Overview

Political figures in Turkey have issued various critiques regarding the nation’s economic stability and the rising cost of living.

In early September, Yeni Party Deputy Group Chairman Gökhan Günaydın criticized the Medium-Term Program for 2027-2029, citing massive individual and corporate debt. Günaydın noted that approximately 44.5 million people are living with debt and highlighted a decline in industrial production, describing a shift toward a ‘cafe economy.’ He also pointed to a severe housing crisis and high poverty thresholds.

By late September, representatives from Saadet Partisi and İYİ Parti continued these critiques. Saadet Partisi officials highlighted a significant decline in purchasing power compared to other nations, while İYİ Parti Deputy Chairman Şenol Sunat focused on the struggles of small businesses, farmers, and industrialists facing rising costs. Sunat also called for increased budget allocations for regional infrastructure and industrial zones.
