Medium Term Programme (2025-2027).

The Medium Term Programme is a national policy with a multi-sectoral approach. The timeframe of the policy is 3 years covering the period between 2025 and 2027. This policy sets out policy priorities to gradually reduce inflation to single-digit levels and increase productivity-based production and employment through structural reforms in order to ensure sustainable growth. The main policy areas that will support the macroeconomic policy framework in the upcoming period include: (I) permanent macroeconomic and financial stability, (II) implementation of public finance reforms, (III) R&D and innovation capacity, (IV) technological transformation towards the transition to a green and digital economy, (V) strengthening human capital, (VI) effective labour market, (VII) business and investment environment, and (VIII) reducing informality in the economy.
This Programme lays down strategies to achieve economic growth. By implementing policies to accelerate the green transformation process for sustainable growth, compliance with international regulations will be strengthened, and the use of renewable energy resources and energy efficiency will be increased. The 2053 Long-Term Climate Change Strategy will be completed with the preparation of the Second National Contribution Declaration, which includes targets and commitments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. A carbon pricing mechanism will be established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. The legal infrastructure of the National Emissions Trading System will be completed and a structure compatible with the European Union Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism will be implemented. The Green Finance Strategy and Action Plan, which will contribute to the green transformation, will be implemented. Legislative studies will be completed to establish a National Green Taxonomy that is compatible with international taxonomy examples, especially the European Union taxonomy. Investments that are compatible with the circular economy approach and aim for low-carbon production will be supported within the scope of the Green Transformation Support Program. Zero waste practices will be expanded. Sustainability of growth will be ensured by accelerating the digital transformation process and supporting the capacity and capabilities of companies, especially SMEs, for digital technologies. Skills development and capacity building will be strengthened to ensure capability for green and digital transformation.
Sustainability of growth will be supported through productivity increases in the agricultural sector, in interaction with the industrial sector. Arable and irrigable areas will be increased by implementing compelling and encouraging regulations for increasing production, protecting agricultural lands, preventing their misuse, and ensuring their efficient use. Production planning will be made by taking into account the supply-demand balance of plant products, the use of agricultural lands in accordance with their capability classes, and the level of competence in strategic products. Contract production will be supported and expanded to strengthen the interaction between agriculture and industry. Organized Agricultural Zones will be established, where geothermal resources and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass will be used. The support amounts for programs aimed at youth and women will be increased to contribute to the socio-economic development of rural areas. Agricultural data collection systems will be improved. In order to ensure stability in food prices and food supply security, target adequacy rates will be determined for strategic agricultural products and production planning will be made by considering the productivity of the land as well as rainfall and irrigation opportunities. Price stability in agricultural products will be supported within the free market order by establishing a Food and Agricultural Products Stock Tracking System for certain products and ensuring traceability in foodstuff warehouses. Agricultural incentives and supports will be provided in a timely manner in order to encourage agricultural production, sustainability and management.
Disaster management will be strengthened to reduce disaster risks and damages, and minimize the loss of life and property. Financing will be provided to carry out all stages, including pre-disaster, during and after the disaster, in a fast, effective and holistic manner. Preventive measures against forest fires will be increased. Flood protection and control investments will be increased, and flood early warning systems will be established to control and reduce flood damage.
