The Medium Term Program is a national policy covering the period of 2023 - 2025. The main purpose of the Medium Term Program is to sustain growth that prioritizes investment, employment, production and exports, to strengthen the efficient and competitive domestic production structure, to reduce import dependency, to achieve permanent price stability, to increase the quality of human capital and labour force, to improve the business and investment environment and to realize economic transformation towards sustainable, inclusive growth and equitable sharing. This Program emphasizes green transformation in all areas of the economy and all sectors, taking into account the multifaceted effects of climate change in the environmental, social and economic fields and within the framework of development priorities. Economic growth will be achieved through a sustainable growth and development strategy supported by investments in productive areas in the private sector and structural reforms. R&D studies and investment projects that will support energy supply security will be carried out by using Türkiye's various domestic and renewable resources. The R&D ecosystem will be structured to enable quick response to all kinds of technology-based needs to combat epidemics, climate change and natural disasters, as well as global change and transformation areas such as green and digital transformation and challenges arising from new developing technologies. In order to achieve the net zero emission target, a medium-term low-carbon growth strategy will be developed, he amount of additional investment that sectors will need for green transformation will be determined, and various support mechanisms will be planned to maintain their competitiveness. Roadmaps will be prepared for sectors to transition to low-carbon production within the framework of the best available techniques and best environmental practices. Green technology R&D projects will continue to be supported, especially in the agriculture, industry, transportation and energy sectors, to create a green transformation infrastructure. In order to bring recycled raw materials into the economy, wastes generated after production and consumption activities will be re-introduced into the production process through processes in line with circular economy principles, standards for recycled secondary products will be determined, and an incentive and guidance system will be developed. Zero waste practices will be expanded to include households. Sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity conservation will be ensured by expanding the size of the protected area in line with the net zero emission target. Forest management will be strengthened to reduce carbon emissions, measures will be taken to combat forest fires, and investments will be continued to increase sapling and seed production and export capacity. The policy lays down targets to generate employment and increase labour force participation rates. Women empowerment in business will be ensured and their participation in decision-making processes will be encouraged. Financial literacy of women will be improved by strengthening women's cooperatives and providing supportive services. Financial measures will be taken to ensure price stability. Food security will be ensured by reducing input costs in agriculture, especially seed, fertilizer, feed, diesel fuel and medicine, by implementing programs that alleviate the financial burden and ensure technology-oriented transformation, and by establishing production at target sufficiency rates in strategic agricultural products. Farmer incomes will be determined in a way that ensures the sustainability of production. Studies will be conducted to prevent the use of agricultural lands for other purposes, to bring arable lands into production, to increase irrigable areas and to expand the use of certified seeds. Agricultural supports will be allocated in a way that will increase efficiency and quality in production. In order to support price stability, a food and agricultural products stock tracking system will be established and traceability in food product warehouses will be increased. The institutional capacities of agricultural organizations will be strengthened, and producer organizations and cooperatives will be made more active in terms of production planning and shortening the supply chain. Pastures will be improved and protected within the scope of sustainability. In order to increase the presence of small family businesses in rural areas and their contribution to agricultural production, the improvement of barns and pens will be carried out to increase animal productivity.
