Minister Şimşek responds to Erdoğan's remarks: 'We have promptly implemented all necessary policies'

AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended a rally held in Elazığ for his party's election campaign. In his speech at the rally, Erdoğan made statements regarding the economy, noting that the Turkish economy grew by 4.5 percent last year despite the earthquakes that occurred on February 6, which also affected Elazığ, and the conflicts in the region.

Erdoğan stated that there is no problem with the foreign exchange reserves of the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (TCMB) and that they will reduce inflation to single digits.

Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek, in a post on his X account regarding Erdoğan's remarks, said, "Since the day we took office, we have promptly implemented all necessary policies."

Şimşek's post is as follows:

"We have seen the strong support of our President at every stage, from the preparation of the program to its implementation.

Since the day we took office, we have promptly implemented all necessary policies.

We are explaining the goals and results of our program on national and international platforms. We were in Batman yesterday to explain the program, and we are in Gaziantep today.

The success of programs that are understood and accepted by all segments increases."

Programın hazırlanmasından uygulanmasına kadar her aşamada Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımızın güçlü desteğini gördük.

Göreve geldiğimiz günden itibaren gereken tüm politikaları ivedilikle uygulamaya aldık.

Ulusal ve uluslararası platformlarda programımızın hedeflerini ve sonuçlarını… https://t.co/tDmcsMZ1VR
