The era of savings in the public sector is beginning. Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz and Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek announced the details of the savings package.

Veteran actor Zafer Algöz reacted to the decision to remove shuttle services for public personnel where public transportation options are available.

Algöz asked, "Removing shuttle services for public sector savings is not right. How will the working class, who hit the roads at 7 in the morning, get to work? How will they afford it?"

HERE ARE THE MEASURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Highlights from the statements of Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek:

  • Our most important priority is to remove the cost of living as a problem; low single-digit inflation is essential for sustainable growth.
  • The CBRT is taking measures in its own field, including monetary policy, to reduce inflation. We will also contribute to the disinflation process with the package we are announcing today and the steps we will announce soon.
  • The package we will announce will not be the last; we will take many steps in the coming period.
  • There are three aspects that distinguish today's set of measures from past practices.
  • First, we aim for savings by increasing efficiency in the public sector.
  • With this package, we are implementing a strong monitoring, reporting, and sanction model.
  • The entire public sector is within the scope of this package of measures.
