Türkiye and the black hole of additional salary earners

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the economic crisis in Turkey continues and the skimmer has long since fallen to the bottom of the pot. Now, in addition to the government, the voice of the private sector has also been heard, and the capital owners and big businessmen of Turkey also believe that the government’s policies in the field of human resources and extensive employment have become a disaster for this country. Because these populist and partisan measures have caused the Turkish public sector to become extremely heavy and fat, and regardless of any kind of economic justification, swallow the country’s vast credits.

Price per 1 US dollar in Turkish market , within a period of seven months (from the May elections until now), it has increased from 20 lira to 29 lira, and predictions indicate that on the first day of 2024, this rate will reach 30 lira.

Just in such a situation, the government has to once again come up with the policy of increasing salaries by 45% so that households can catch up with inflation. But this problem is not an ordinary hole, but a black hole that seems hard to fill. And let’s hear the famous capitalist of this country that he and three of his family members, in the past few decades, have always been at the top of the list of the richest people in Turkey and even internationally, they are known as great capitalists and rich people.

Rahmi Koch, a Turkish businessman and capitalist, yesterday, after a long silence, commented on the Turkish economy, and in his words, pointed out the damages and shortcomings that often , they challenge the economic policies of the government and the ruling party.

He is the eldest son of Vahbi Koch. A businessman who was born in 1901 and died in 1996. His children multiplied the father’s wealth and capital, and this family, which chose the ram’s horn logo for its holding company, has a total wealth of nearly 10 billion dollars, and along with the Sabanci family, they have always been one of the most important and influential wealthy families in Turkey.

Both the Koch family and the Sabanji family each have a large and prestigious university that is dedicated to educating top and talented students in the fields of economics, accounting, financial management and entrepreneurship, providing scholarships and high-quality education. have raised a generation of efficient workers and are also very active in the fields of charity and treatment.

Rahmi Koch: Half of government salary earners are redundant

Rahmi Koch, one of the important Turkish businessmen and the honorary chairman of Koch Holding, yesterday in an interview with Oxygen newspaper The leftist of Ankara made significant assessments about the Turkish economy. In his speech, he pointed to some populist policies of the Justice and Development Party and believes that widespread propaganda In order to increase the population and encourage families to reproduce, there is no scientific and economic support, and Erdogan’s team was only looking for more voters to grow among conservative families and a significant part of the members of these families. Also, he has hired without justification. But this party effort has been expensive for the Turkish economy.

Koç stated that the population growth rate in Turkey is high, and that this is for a country that lacks natural resources and It imports oil and gas from abroad at exorbitant prices, it has a negative effect on the economy. Uploaded/Image/1402/09/01/1402090112051876028828504.jpg”/>

Koch, explaining the problems of populist politics without economic support of population growth, says: “We are a country of 85 million people Are. But the amount of our wealth and economic power has not grown shoulder to shoulder with the increase in our population. As a result, as you can see, we have many deficiencies. The number of schools is not enough, the amount of food production is not enough, the educational facilities are not enough and the hospitals are not enough, nothing is enough in today’s conditions”. Koç says about the population of Turkish civil servants: “It is very difficult for the government to move in the direction of economic development and growth with such a heavy population. Because the resources we create are not enough. We definitely need foreign resources and foreign borrowing should be increased regularly. Today, unemployment in the country is very high. To create a job for one person, an investment between 60,000 and 80,000 dollars is required. Even excluding the military, we have five and a half million government employees! Believe me, more than half of this salaried population is redundant, and Turkey can be run with 2 million government employees.” The politician says: “Why should the Turkish parliament have six hundred representatives?” Each representative has several companions, drivers, secretaries and staff, and there is really no need for all these extra expenses. If we manage the parliament and the political and executive structure of the country correctly, if the legislature wants to do its work properly and to advance legislation and supervision with the best quality, it only needs two hundred representatives. It means one third of the current statistics! So we have to reconsider. It is necessary to make correct decisions about the population growth policy, about education and employment and the way of public sector management”.

How can Turkey become powerful

Rahimi Koch criticized Turkey’s foreign policy with a soft and indirect expression and believes that the solution to Turkey’s empowerment is It is not to seek refuge in interventionist and militaristic methods, and the way to power is through economic growth. I think his next successor is Ismat Inonu, I come to the conclusion that they were not very active in the field of economy and had a conservative approach. Especially Esmet Pasha, who stretched his legs according to the size of his carpet or even shorter than the carpet! Such a thing in economics and investment is not correct at all. Of course, despite all that conservatism, Turkish money was very valuable. Our 1 lira was equivalent to 1 dollar and 26 US cents. We exported 81 million dollars and imported only 50 million dollars. In other words, we had a significant surplus. Our foreign trade had a surplus of 31 million dollars. But, no matter how we calculate it, the Turkey of Atatürk’s time is not the Turkey of today. Today, there is integration and adaptation to the world, which we call globalism, and the discussion of leadership in the world has become a hot topic. No government can be run like an island alone. Therefore, we must increase our added value, produce high-quality goods, increase our exports, improve our relations with our neighbors, and become a country that has an expressive voice and our words and works are remembered in the world. Be respectful. Such a thing depends only on the strength of the economy. If your economy is strong, you will have something to say and be respected. If your economy is weak and sick, no one will pay attention to you. We must keep up with the global trend. The most important thing is to go with the changes.” And they are political, Kemalists and supporters of the People’s Republic Party. But a new wave of rich people from Turkey, who have emerged especially in Anatolia and formed the Mosyad Association, are supporters of the Justice and Development Party and Erdogan.
