“In this period when protectionism and uncertainties in global trade increase, our country has an important potential in terms of evaluating the opportunities that emerge through its geostrategic location and strong production capacity.
Thanks to the gains of the economic program we have implemented for about two years, our macroeconomic foundations have strengthened and the durability and dynamism of our economy increased.
Significant progress has been made in the fight against inflation, our main priority. The disinflation process, which started in June 2024, continued uninterruptedly, and the annual inflation decreased by 40 points in the last year and decreased to 35.4 percent in May 2025.
In the fight against inflation, demand -posted policies are implemented as well as supply -oriented policies are taken in areas such as housing, food and energy. Rent inflation, which gradually decreases with the improvement in the balance of demand and inflation expectations, is still not at the desired level. In this context, comprehensive policies are implemented in order to increase housing supply, to compensate for earthquake -induced losses in housing stock and to facilitate access to housing. In the coming period, it is expected that the slowdown in the inflation of the hatred by balancing housing supply and demand and the continuation of the disinflation process will continue.
Global risks and geopolitical developments further increase the strategic importance of supply security in energy. In this respect, we continue our efforts to accelerate the green transformation process by increasing energy supply security and efficiency, strengthening domestic and renewable energy production capacity.
