They have completely lost touch with reality

Economist and ENAG (Inflation Research Group) President Veysel Ulusoy made a statement following Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek's remarks regarding oil in Gabar.

It is time to mock their reasoning.

For a finance minister to post such a message without doing the math on the Anadolu Agency report reveals issues with their ability to think.

Little do they know, this is just pocket change...

Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek's tweet is as follows:

Oil production in Gabar will meet 10 percent of our country's needs in 2024. Thus, the current account deficit will permanently decrease and reserve accumulation will accelerate.

As of 2026, total oil production will reach a level that will meet 18 percent of our needs.
