MHP Konya MP Kalaycı requested 6 percent support for exporters

MHP Deputy Chairman and Konya MP Mustafa Kalaycı called for raising Turkey's foreign-exchange conversion support to 6% during Trade Ministry budget talks at the TBMM Plan and Budget Committee, arguing that manufacturers and exporters need stronger competitiveness. He also urged heavier penalties in the fight against excessive pricing. The proposal matters because the conversion support directly affects exporters' effective exchange-rate returns and margins at a time of tight monetary policy. What to watch next is whether the Trade Ministry or broader economic team adopts the 6% level in the 2025 budget framework and whether tougher price-gouging sanctions advance through parliament.
