The budget discussions for the year 2026 have started in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

The Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) Plan and Budget Commission has officially begun its review of the 2026 budget. These important meetings represent a critical stage for the future of the country's economy. AK Party Samsun Deputy Mehmet Muş is presiding over the meeting, and this year's budget discussions are expected to include significant details that will further shape the economic situation.

This year's discussions will address the budget requests of key public institutions such as the Assembly, the Public Supervisory Institution, and the Court of Accounts Presidency. Experts emphasize that the evaluations conducted during this process are critical for the sustainability of public finances. The 2026 budget is being prepared to further strengthen the state’s financial policies and to improve the living standards of citizens.

The content of the budget discussions is highly anticipated; there is much speculation regarding how areas such as financing public services, social projects, and investment expenditures will be addressed. In particular, the amount of resources allocated to strategic areas such as social policies and infrastructure investments will be directly related to economic growth targets.

The detailed analyses conducted by the TGNA Plan and Budget Commission will highlight that the budget is not merely about numbers, but rather an instrument that determines the overall welfare level of society. In this context, the prioritization of all kinds of expenditures holds critical importance. Considering the expectations and recommendations of relevant institutions, it will be seen to what extent the budget structure will be flexible and how resilient it will be against economic fluctuations.

Financial analysts and economic experts also draw attention to the transparency of the negotiations conducted in preparing the 2026 budget. The decision-making processes behind the preparation of public budgets can directly affect the general economic course of society. Therefore, the decisions that the Commission will make during this process are of great importance not only for financial discipline but also for increasing public trust.
