THE TURKISH ECONOMY CRASH 

Turkey will overcome any crisis as it is a great country, with lots of advantages, including location, climate, etc. But its biggest advantage is the Turks themselves, most friendly and hard-working people. Best wishes from Ukraine!

Once again may I say Thank you Mick for such a informative video. May I also send my prayers and duas for my Turkish Brothers & Sisters, may Turkey prosper and become so much more successful. Ameen

Mick amca ekonomik durumumuzu televizyon programında ben ekonomistim diyen şaklabanlardan daha güzel özetlemişsin tebrikler.👏

Well said mick thank god we booked again June this year can't wait to go meet up with locals and support them massively..love the culture food hospitality it sure is the best place in the world to visit .Great video well done for explaining the current situation 👏 turkish people are amazing bounce back from all the hard knocks ,please god turkey get back to busy again. 💘 from ireland 🇮🇪

I am in Turkey at the moment having my teeth done i could not afford to have it done in the UK it would cost more than double I paid for first house . the people are so friendly food excellent weather is excellent coming back in June to finish my dental work and holiday I love Turkey 🇹🇷

Same here in Australia everything is so expensive house prices have nearly tripled ,food and services the same ,cant wait to see my family and villa there excellent video thank you for sharing

This is so informative Mick, we are all suffering the ravages of rising inflation, unequal wealth distribution and increased gas prices. I first travelled to Turkey 30 years ago and it felt very third world, now I feel as though it’s developed at a fantastic pace whilst retaining its charm and beauty, no amount of inflation will put me off visiting this year.

Mike amca you are an inspiration for all of us. Thank you very much.

love turkey and love the people. booked to come 4 times this year. we do want to buy a home in the next few years so i really enjoy your videos giving us some insight.

Nobody could explain better than you Mick Amca! Great job!

In a nutshell,Turkey is a great place for everyone but natives so come to Turkey and do everything that natives cant do due to the high prices

Mick your 7 months old views of Turkish economy is very true when I look at Turkiye today.

I love the fact that you have put this across in such a logical way. After visiting Turkey for over ten years, I took a leap of faith and purchased a villa in Calis, in November 2021 with a view to spending more time and my hard earned British pension in Turkey. In my personal opinion, Turkey is on the up and the Uk is quickly going downhill. It took two weeks to purchase a villa in Turkey, 3 months later in the Uk I am still waiting for a property sale to go through - enough said ! Like yourselves and many others, we love Turkey and will be supporting the place we now choose to call our spiritual home.

Great Mike keep up the good work.

Hope everything sorts itself out for them. They are a great people

I'm happy to know you're good people.Beautiful video congratulations 🍾

Great video uncle🥺I from Turkey 😔 I'm sorry.. I'm 21 years old. We are so bored ,tired .. Everything is very expensive, our families can't keep up. Thousands of young people like me dream of another country.. it is very difficult.

Awesome commentary! There will be a bright light at the end of every dark tunnel.

Hi Mate, i follow you with interest and some jealousy and admire the love you and yr wife have for my Turkiye. watching u from a rainy, cold stormy Wembley London. Im a Turk born n raised here in UK Liverpool. Hoping to return home sometime after we get rid of that nasty bloke who's trying so hard to erase Ataturk from our memories. love n peace fella x Okan. Ive watched a few of yr videos showing off my lovely country, i visit Didim Altinkum every year for my hols.....x

Mick amca. Thanks for the informative video. We are already in it so we kind of know how serious is the economic situation. Its good that you let other people know

My family love turkey, its been nearly three years since we last visited but now we are coming in June, this country is beautiful and friendly anyone reading this message please visit, you will be amazed.

Thanks a lot for the info!

maalesef yabancılar bile bu olayları anlıyorken bizim insanımızın anlamaması can yakıyor

Hi, Mick and Trudie Hi, Mick and Trudie. I came as a young man to the UK in 1958. I thought I would be dead at 65/75. So, precisely at that juncture, I retired and distributed my assets to 4 male children. That is a mistake I will never repeat if I was born again. However, Two of my wives died and the third one fell in love with another lady so, I married a woman in 2013 who lives in India. She was 38 when I married her and I am now 82 years old but very mobile, young. I subscribed to your show a couple of months ago and I've seen all the videos. I must say that you are a very good RU-vidr and I only wish your lovely wife did more of her videos as she is very good and I think she has a great sense of humour. The reason I watched your videos is your accuracy of the situations and I felt extremely at ease and felt a genuine sincerity in your's and Trudie's communication to your viewers. There is no possibility of my wife getting a spouse visa to the UK, because of; 1. To convince the Home Office of my marriage with her is a genuine marital relationship is an uphill task and 2. she is hopeless, in learning the English language. We have around £150,000 (Sterling) in savings in India. I am a retired professor of Theology from Leeds University. I am a gambler, more precisely a professional one. I chose to settle in and around Fethiye because of all the reasons you are already aware of in general, but more importantly, this place will provide my wife with a residency permit, and for both of us to travel to European casinos where I gamble regularly until the Covid-19 hit the world. We can start a very good restaurant as she is a fine cook of Indian cuisine however, this all depends on your response to my comments here. Generally speaking, I generate £50 to £80 thousand per year from my gambling. I am registered with HMRC as a professional gambler. I leave you with kind regards to both of you and hope to hear from you very soon. With very warm wishes for your success in whatever field you are in and wish you both good health and prosperity. I remain, Yours truly Aitisamul Haq Thanvi (8Sam) to pronounce my first name Nagma Mirza (my wife) thanvi@mail.com My WhatsApp +447760152048

Teşekkürler Mick amca. Herşeyi özetleyip,anlatmışsın.

We are betting on Turkey. We just bought an apartment in Istanbul and have applied for our citizenship. The healthcare system here is better than our home countries of UK and US, IMHO. And we love the people!!! Thanks for the update!

The problem is cost of energy which is costed in USD, energy costs affect everything and if energy is too expensive then everything gets shutdown.

*Ülkemizin içinde bulunduğu durumu gayet iyi bir şekilde özetlemişsiniz bayım. Kanalınıza abone oldum ve videoyu beğendim. Umarım bu video daha fazla kişiye ulaşır ve umarım kanalınız çok hızlı bir şekilde büyür. Bir lise öğrencisi olarak, her ne kadar ülkemin şu an içinde bulunduğu durumu sevmesem de ülkemden umudu kesmiyorum. Ve benimle aynı düşünceye sahip bir yabancıyı görmek beni çok mutlu etti. Gerçekten harika bir video, başarılarınızın devamını dilerim.*

Heralde bende türk olmasam böyle video çekerdim

Hi MIck - I have seen some of your videos, but this is the first time that I made a comment on this great timely video, thank you very much, I will look you up one day for sure. in Fethiye...

Aşağıdaki birçok yorum Türkiye'nin ne kadar güzel insanlarinin ne kadar iyi olduğuyla ilgili..Aslında gurur duymamız lazım ama o kadar umrumda değil ki henüz 22 yaşında bir üniversite öğrencisiyim ama keşke o yorumu yapan bir İngiliz olsaydım diye geçirdim içimden..Cennet vatanımızda cehennemi yaşıyoruz çok üzgünüm

Tek kelimeyle harika. O kadar objektif özetlemişsiniz ki… Hatta sonlara doğru duygulandığımı bile söyleyebilirim… Teşekkürler her şey için ve bu güzel videolarınızın devamını bekliyoruz her daim. Sevgiler.

Videonun özeti: Türkiye, yerlisi değilseniz güzel ülke. :) Much love from Australia 🦘 :)

I totally agree with you regarding Turkey being one of the best country in the world. Turkish nationals are so hospitable.

You are a genuine ambassador of Türkiye to the world.Thanks for the prompting words on us and for the motivation which da need.

Hope you both do fine guys, your videos always bring me joy when thinking about my house in Turkey when I can't go!

Mick Amca you have more faith in Turkey than most of Turks themselves (including me) - but it's encouraging nevertheless. Thanks for a lovely video.

Evet türkiye çok güzel bir ülke ve potansiyeli de yüksek bir ülke. Ama yöneticiler tarafından hep soyulan ve gerçek değerini potansiyelini dünyaya yansıtmayan yöneticiler var. Bizim tek ihtiyacımız dürüst bir yönetici ve dürüst yönetim.

Güzel anlatmışsın amca. Ben yeni evlendim ve 200.000 TL borçlandım. Avrupa'dan biri gelip bu parayı kısa bir tatilde harcayabiliyorken aynı miktarda para için ben yıllarca çalışmak zorundayım. Döviz cinsinden geliri olan için gerçekten cennet burası.

Couple of years ago, Erdogan' made his son-in-law Berat Albayrak , the head of the Treasury: Albayrak declared "The increase in the value of foreign currencies [vis-a-vis the Turkish Lira] doesn't interest me." (He was forced to resign, which is the only good news to come out of this fiasco) With clueless and "berbat" people like him appointed to high positions due solely to nepotism, no wonder Turkey is in such a bad position.

Turkey is good country whose salary is dolar or sterlin. Please search for how roads, hospitals or trains were built? The answer is system of "build, operate and transfer" When a young says "economy was governed badly" an old man came and say " show your cell phone! Your phone is much expensive! Government built roads and hospitals! If you don't like this government, go another country" sorry but your video is similar this situation. You should analyze dynamics about Turkish Government system and economy correctly. We want to live with economic power, democracy and freedom. But there isn't

You are the best!! I enjoy your videos

Your absolutely right about this wonderful country. There is no getting away from the fact that the banks are gona collapse soon.An whenever there is a war brewing then there is an exscuse to rise the cost of slaving never mind living.Hardest working people i have ever saw here.Turkish people put British workers to shame yet the British worker makes in a day what the poor turkish person makes in 1week.Warmest people i have ever met are Turkish im actually embarrassed and jelous.

While I can say that Turkey has great prospects, unfortunately with the wrong government and economic policies the country will continue to decline. One thing that has struck me since living in Turkey is the poor quality of the education and schooling system. This is just my opinion, but to me it looks like all the government spending is going to sectors which are perhaps less important or for personal gain. I'd be interested to know if anyone has noticed this too!

As Turkish People, we cannot see such an optimistic view for the future. But of course for foreign people there are some benefits especially with their currencies

These sort of polarised economies are ubiquitous around the third world. In Pakistan, where human life and labour, is worthless you will see equally expensive cars and mansions littered around.

As a Turk living in Izmir, I can say that Turkey is truly the only place that connects Europe and Asia, as the only culture, deep history, a warm and unique country where people are friends with each other. I love everyone who hosts my country. We may be from different countries, but we are all home to the world and turkey is definitely a beautiful different window for this world. come to turkey, see, eat, love to all of you 👋🏻❤️

Bu vatandaşlık vermek çok canımı sıkıyor bir kişi 250.000$ ödüyor ve ailesi ile birlikte vatandaş oluyor bu hiç adil değil para ile vatandaşlık satılmamalı yeterince farklı ülkelerden göç aldık ve almaya devam ediyoruz zaten :(

Thanks Mick for that very informative video. I am an American expat currently living in Ukraine but have been looking at the possibility of moving to Turkey. I started my research last fall after a visit to Mamaris (where I was overwhelmed by how beautiful and modern Turkey was)....however all of economic turmoil and the current situation with the "supposed war" here in Ukraine have put my timeline back a bit. I plan to travel to Turkey in a month or so by myself to investigate more in person.

Mick amca Türkiye'yi tanıyacak kadar uzun süredir buradasın. Türkiye'de kriz sadece dar gelirli insanlar için vardır. Tarih boyunca böyle olmuştur. Varlıklı kesim her krizde servetini biraz daha büyütür. Onun için Türkiye hiçbir zaman batmaz, böyle devam eder

The average inflation rate in Turkey for the last 50 years has been 34% anyone moving to this beautiful country should think long and hard about converting their money to Lira, you will lose in the end no matter how high the banks interest rates. Turkey's problem is Erdogan he is a Megalomaniac but he'll be gone ina couple of years TF

Bu kadar guzel ve degerli hir ülkede yasamak kolay deyil bedel ôdemeden yasayamassin türkiyem icin her turlu bedeli ödedim halada ödüyorum kanimin son damlasina kadar para falan hic bisey yeterki devlet millet bayrak ayakta kalsin biz yikilmaya raziyiz ..Alllah türkü korusun aminnn..

Thank you for this insightful commentary. We just spent three weeks visiting Istanbul and the southeast of the country. Batman, Mardin, Diabakur and other fantastic locations. The people, history and natural beauty are stunning. We love the country. Thanks, Mick.

the very useful, comprehensive and compact review, thank you very much Mick, the best greetings from us in Indonesia

A great video, thanks again Mick amca. But as a local, affected by the inflation rates here in Turkey, I have to inform you that buying an economy car (let alone a mid-class or premium one) has become a distant dream for us skilled workers too. People with 10+ years of experience in white-collar jobs can consider themselves lucky if they get a company car, or if they can make a purchase of a used, economy car. But I do share your hope that this will change sometime in the future... Keep up the great work, we love your videos!

tesekkurler turkıye hakkında guzel yorumların ıcın turkıyeye objektıf olarak bakarak bızlerı onure ettınız saygılar ve sevgıler... guzel ınsan

Hi, I’m visiting kusadasi in April (after 2 years of cancelled hols) and I obviously have seen the exchange rate double but is this good for tourists or will the bars and restaurants increased their prices? Also which currency is it best to bring; £,€,$ or lira? Many thanks

EXCELLENT breakdown. You're a smart man mate, unfortunately some of my fellow Turks can't see that far ahead. Don't forget the govt lost İstanbul because istanbulites refused to pay for plastic bags! The hate is spurned on by all the OPPOSİTİON. Now they're using Gen Z who think everyone in the West/EU become wealthy after school. I'm in Australia, My daughter worked full time doing shift work as a flight attendant AND full time university and only now is closer to getting her job as a paramedic after 2 years, İn the interim she worked other jobs and 000emergency. İ feel sorry for the Turkish youth as the opposition & Islamophobic parents are bringing them up with hatred and entitlement. Watching RU-vid videos of them refusing to work & demanding the govt them cushy jobs without doing anything for themselves and leaning on parents financially saddens me. Meanwhile business can't find workers. Anyway i babbled on but again thanks for this, I've shared on twitter.

I am turkish and the economy is killed us...

We live in Canada and are planning to sell our home and move to Turkey this year. Turkish husband, Canadian wife. The inflation in Canada is making it more and more expensive to live here, but the advantage We have from the increase in our home price and the exchange to Turkish Lira will make it very worth while for us. Inşallah

Mick amca, memleketi yönetenler ülkeyi senin kadar düşünseler bu problemlerin hiçbiri olmayacak. Teşekkürler sana...

Thanks❤️

Long live Turkey

Well done mick for tackling the problems with the lira and cost of living its ok for tourist makes a hol there very cheap hope to be back there soon Brian leeds

dear uncle :-) As a Turkish citizen, thank you very much for this beautiful and objective explanation. It is very clear that you love Turkey and its people, and I thank you for that. You describe and introduce my beautiful country, which is a bridge between Europe and Asia, at least as much as a Turk, maybe even better. We are happy to welcome all his followers in our country, keep watching Uncle Mick. There are more beauties in our country that you need to know and see. For example, you should definitely see these places in Cappadocia, the Black Sea region, Bursa and Çanakkale. Best regards...

İf we keep continue elect this peoples unfortunately we will see worse days Mick i can say that,as a Turkish economist i can easily say our economy running very irrationally,reducing rate is really unspeakable move,it's against every economic theory in the world

Very informative, always watch your channel. Love Turkey, we have been about 8 times and there again later this year, in Hisaronu. (Geoff. UK)

Another very informative Video Mick, Will be in Calis Turkiye in July for 3 weeks, 3rd time lucky, luckily still at the price from 2020.

Thanks Mick amca. Love your simple way of putting things ..

you are amazing!! Bu arada Türkçen gayet iyi 😁

I've been saying the same thing about the economy for the last year and a half. It's going to boom over there. I'm glad I have my property already.

Mick Reyiz ekonominin başına geç kurtar bizi :))

I've seen many negative postings on youTube recently, it's nice to see someone speak up for Turkey, but I don't see the need to talk down the UK at the same time. Especially when Turkey are in a really difficult financial position, and are fire fighting to get out of it. The UK are still still seen as credit worthy, not just by me, but by the credit rating agencies, and by most of the business World at large. I had the same thoughts regarding Tourism, I'm sure Turkey are really missing that income. I will be their in about six weeks, and I'll make my small contribution to their economy. And I'm sure that I'll get the nice welcome that I always receive when I'm there.

You don't need to praise the Turkish government Miki amca. We know all the facts already.

Türk olmayanlar için güzel video .

I remember only country help in the pandemic and no closet de factory 🏭 it’s was Turkey 🇹🇷 Turkey it’s was full of product papel full and he help China 🇨🇳 and USA And Europe this it’s was woo 🙌 bravo 👏 Turkey 🇹🇷 how survived this pandemic and help w product it’s mean alot bravo 👏 for Turkish people very strong 💪 in the bad situation keep up 🆙 In USA 🇺🇸 market it’s was empty it’s was crazy and market in Turkey 🇹🇷 full incredible

great and confident info on the great Country of Turkey, i shall be heading out there in the near future. Michael you are great with your films and valuabel information. keep up the good work promoting Turkeyie... Patrick... in Scotland

They should have never started to ask where you got your cash from when exchanging sterling to Lira. It might have stopped a bit of money laundering but ut must have costvthe billions in hard currency.

THANKYOU MICK AND TRUDY FOR YOUR POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON TURKEY, I HAVE BOOKED FOR 2 MONTHS IN MARCH / APRIL, HEADING FOR OVAKIK

I am a Turkish citizen. The situation of the country is very bad. We have not experienced such a thing until now. My beautiful country has become hopeless with a selfish administration. And it is very difficult to fix.

I've lived and worked in Istanbul for nearly a quarter of a century and find much sense and truth in what you have to say. The concerns here as the spoiler are pretty much completely political. A system has been created placing so much in the hands of one man that his going, which is inevitable one day, threatens dangerous power vacuums. The policy if dividing the people into two major camps if roughly equal size, as in Britain too, rather than striving to unite more and more, means chaos in the mid to longer term future is quite likely in my view. Who is going to succeed the present guy in charge? Can it be effected smoothly and better unite Turkish people behind a stable new governance?

who is going to pay for that... likely a hard crash would happen in 2023.

As a Turk it is very sad to see these...

Thank you. You are doing better than turkish politicians.

Bu Adamı gözlerinden öpüyorum Bir çok Türk’ten daha Türk

Thanks Mick we appreciate your thoughtful comment about our country and economy.

Then inflation, in the United States, is getting pretty bad too!🙏🌏

I would like to be a tourist in Turkey but unfortunately i'm not.

All dictators will lose one day

Seni seviyoruz Mick Amca🤗

Thank u for supporting our country. You are such a good man Mick Uncle x it really made me cry

Hep o malum zat yüzünden ,ama bu günler de geccek

you have fair and more reasonable view. Most Turkish people evalute the situation from their own political view. Let's just pray and work for a better future

en büyük hayalim abd'ye gitmek ve orada yaşamak

I visited Turkey 20 years ago and swore I would never go back . Anyway I did eventually go back and then on my 3rd visit I purchased a villa in Uzumlu. It’s proven to be the best decision I’ve ever made I love the place and the locals make us so welcome. I intend to spend more and more time there as each year goes by

Mick Amca saol :)

I stopped watching after 4:33

Türk ekonomisinin kriz durumu 16 yüzyıldan başlıyor, devam ediyor şimdiye kadar. Heran ekonomi resmen durabilir. Bir sürü faktör var.

Always a pleasure watching your videos👍🏻, We are driving from the UK in 3 weeks to live in Fethyie🇹🇷, the situation in Turkey has not put us off, Turkish hospitality and family centred way of life, more than makes up for the current volatility in the economy. Hopefully we bump into you in the near future🤠

we are going to turkey in july, should i buy my lira now? in 2021 i took cash sterling and every where wanted sterling or euros, i am sure i over paid for everything. that was side. this time were going to marmaris
