We are being deceived so thoroughly that it becomes clearer what the media organs praising the government are hiding. Turkey’s economic existence and its comparison with the world reveals the whole reality. Now is the time to talk about some facts. Someone has finally realized that many foodstuffs produced in Turkey and sold to Europe are cheaper in the country where they are sold. This “success” Let it be noted that it also belongs to the AKP government.
We will show some other data as an example. There are data published by institutions such as Credit Suisse and UBS in Switzerland. When you take a look, it is possible to clearly see how the current ruling politicians exaggerate our country’s economy and what the facts are.
There are countries in Europe that have worse income distribution than Turkey. But Türkiye is in the top three worst places in every subject. We do not leave the first place to anyone in most matters.
First, poverty… We are in the top three. Experts have a criterion: the Gini coefficient. “None” It means full equality in income distribution; When you move away, income distribution deteriorates; It decreases as it approaches zero. Turkey’s coefficient is 80.4. There are Latvia and Sweden worse than Turkey. The three countries with the best income distribution in Europe are Slovakia, Belgium and Malta. This is the first misery.
The wealth of the richest… Türkiye is at the top again. The richest 1 percent of the population in Turkey holds 39.5 percent of the country’s wealth. Turkey is followed by the Czech Republic with 37.8 percent and Sweden with 35.8 percent. The top three countries in Europe are Belgium with 13.5 percent, Portugal with 19 percent, and England with 20.6 percent.
We are second in terms of the size of the wealth controlled by the richest 5 percent and 10 percent of the population. The richest 5 percent control 59.2 percent of the wealth, and the richest 10 percent control 69.8 percent of the wealth. So there is nothing left for the majority.
We come to the question in the title. Who has 10 thousand dollars? When you look at the data, you are startled: 70.6 percent of adults in Turkey have a wealth of less than 10 thousand dollars. So, when we compare Turkey with countries such as the Greek Cypriot side of Southern Cyprus, Greece, Montenegro, Romania and Bulgaria, our people do not have money in their pockets, gentlemen, no…
27.3 percent of our adults have a wealth between 10-100 thousand dollars. In other words, this is the proportion of our people who can afford a middle-class house. There is nothing left… 2 percent of the adult population has a wealth between 100 thousand and 1 million dollars. The rate of those with wealth over 1 million dollars is 0.1 percent. What kind of view?
You’re going to make savings in the public sector, but you’re not going to raise the minimum wage… Take a good look at these rates! 3 percent of the adult population “reckless” AKP is the government that strangles the 97 percent in order to reduce the inflation caused by its spending.
Where are the structural problems? Yusuf Tekin‘s sect-community-based approach to education, or Mehmet SimsekIs it in the IMF-World Bank rote understanding of economics?
