Could all the numbers in the infobox be for the previous year[edit]

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)[reply]

@Omnibenevolence: @Metuboy:I think they should all be for 2023 now - your thoughts?Chidgk1 (talk) 13:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find GDP by sector and exports by sector?[edit]

I am updating Agriculture in Turkey. Any idea where I can find 2022 GDP share and export share of agriculture for 2022? Having trouble finding this on Turkstat website. Chidgk1 (talk) 12:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone improve this article?[edit]

Hello. I have improved several articles about Turkey but economics is far too difficult for me. As it is rated top importance for more than one project (I have asked at economics and Turkey projects) is there any chance one of you could improve this article? That would likely help me with other Turkey articles which are related to the economy. Also Turkish economic crisis (2018–current) is in pretty bad shape if any of you have time to work on it.

Excerpt from poverty in Turkey[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Years in infobox[edit]

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)[reply]

Yes I agree per WP: crystal Shadow4dark (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha thanks but I am not a Geordie Chidgk1 (talk) 19:04, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Please use the English pages from Turkstat and Ministry of Treasury and Finance when available[edit]

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)[reply]

Why use IMF figures for GDP not official government figures?[edit]

@88.233.153.183: and anyone else interested Chidgk1 (talk) 09:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of ‘peaked’?[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
