Talk:Economy of Turkey

Could all the numbers in the infobox be for the previous year
At the moment they range from 2017 to 2023. I think it would make more sense to have them all 2022. What do you think? Chidgk1 (talk) 11:54, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I think they should all be for 2023 now - your thoughts?Chidgk1 (talk) 13:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Excerpt from poverty in Turkey
Hello @Metuboy

Good to see you and @Omnibenevolence improving this article. But I am curious to know why you removed the excerpt from poverty in Turkey. I think using an excerpt here makes the articles easier to keep up to date in future Chidgk1 (talk) 13:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I removed it since the excerpt was extracting only a single line of text and a large image. And the image was overlaping with the topic below. Actually we can keep the excerpt. I already remove the image from the poverty article. Since the text of the image was not mentioned in the article itself. It was not a good practise. Metuboy (talk) 14:28, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You are free to use the excerpt back again. If you think it was a better practise. Metuboy (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes even though it is only one sentence at the moment I hope in future you or someone else might be interested in expanding the lead of Poverty in Turkey Chidgk1 (talk) 15:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Years in infobox
I think all the info in the infoxbox should be for 2023 because that would be up to date but not speculative

What do you think? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes I agree per WP: crystal Shadow4dark (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ha ha thanks but I am not a Geordie Chidgk1 (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Forecasts aren't meant to be speculative,they reflect the upcoming agenda not guesses 212.253.193.142 (talk) 00:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But some of the figures in the infobox are still at 2017 and 2018 - surely those should be updated to 2022 or 2023 rather than continually changing the 2023 figures to different months in 2024? Chidgk1 (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

This is getting silly - how can we know the average monthly salary for 2024 when it is only January - I give up Chidgk1 (talk) 13:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Please use the English pages from Turkstat and Ministry of Treasury and Finance when available
Often they have press releases in English as well as Turkish - for example for the unemployment rate. Using these pages will make it easier for readers to check cites Chidgk1 (talk) 16:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Why use IMF figures for GDP not official government figures?
and anyone else interested Chidgk1 (talk) 09:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I guess its because all countries has been edited in wiki according to imf figures it keeps fresh and reliable data Pirteappp (talk) 12:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Meaning of ‘peaked’?
The lead of this article says ‘Turkey's nominal GDP peaked at $1.340 trillion in 2024, and its nominal GDP per capita peaked at $15,368 in the same year.’ but if I wrote something similar in the peak coal article I am sure my change would be reverted by someone saying that a peak year must have at least one lower level year after it.

What do you think ‘peaked’ means? Chidgk1 (talk) 09:13, 22 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I think the words you are looking for are "all-time high". So it would be "Turkey's nominal GDP reached an all-time high of $1.340 trillion in 2024..." KREOH (talk) 01:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Could anyone fix the data section
IMF data has been updated and It seems the current data page hasn't been updated Pirteappp (talk) 12:39, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

EU Is Not a Country, It should not be represented as one
I have observed that someone has changed trade partner values and combined individual trade partners into a single EU data. This is misleading and unnecessarily ideological. I suggest it to be reverted. Thank you. 212.253.113.156 (talk) 13:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
