Türkiye’s Finance Minister Şimşek: A de facto prime minister

I have no intention of targeting Mehmet Şimşek, the Minister of Treasury and Finance. Ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) members are already doing that enough. Despite the defeat in the March 31 elections, they act as if President Tayyip Erdoğan wasn’t the sole decision-maker and they had done everything right, still claiming, “If we

Two challenges of Şimşek: tax reform and public sector savings

The local elections are over. Not as the Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan intended, but as opposition CHP leader Özgür Özel wanted. Yet Erdoğan still has an economic crisis ahead of him.
