Together with a growth forecast of 3.3% for 2026, the programme sets out priorities for productivity, the production and export capacity of manufacturing industry, and SMEs' access to finance. The Medium-Term Programme (2027-2029) was published in the Official Gazette of 6 September 2026. The programme puts the growth forecast for 2026 at 3.3% and expects total factor productivity to contribute 1.2 percentage points to this growth. Growth targets are 4.2% for 2027, 4.6% for 2028 and 5.0% for 2029; year-end consumer inflation is forecast at 28.4% for 2026, with targets of 21%, 13.5% and 9% for 2027, 2028 and 2029 respectively. Goods exports are projected at USD 282 billion in 2026 and USD 316 billion in 2029. The programme treats safeguarding the production and export capacity of manufacturing industry as a separate policy heading. Under this heading, it includes measures to increase credit guarantee capacity with priority given to SMEs, to expand support mechanisms that will accelerate efficiency investments in energy-intensive sectors, and to train intermediate-level qualified technical staff in organised industrial zones. According to the programme, productivity-focused policies are expected to raise the potential growth rate by around 0.5 percentage points over the programme period. ### TİBİAD assessment In TİBİAD's assessment, the decisive aspect of the programme for the business community is that it highlights productivity as one of the main sources of growth. Productivity gains require monitoring energy and raw material use, digitalising processes and developing employee skills together. It is therefore important for businesses wishing to benefit from support programmes to set out their current situation using measurable indicators. At TİBİAD, we are linking the headings that stand out in the programme to our projects. The Digital Transformation and AI Programme assesses businesses' processes, data and skills together; the Global Trade Bridge Programme focuses on product and market diversification in exports; and the Investment and Incentives Advisory Desk helps institutions prepare project files suited to public support programmes. We regard the implications of the programme for businesses as one of the topics to be addressed together with the business community, universities and public institutions in our sector boards and at the TİBİAD Economic Summit. ### Sources - Cumhurbaşkanlığı Strateji ve Bütçe Başkanlığı — Orta Vadeli Program (2027-2029) (6 September 2026) — [https://www.sbb.gov.tr/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Orta-Vadeli-Program-2027-2029.pdf](https://www.sbb.gov.tr/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Orta-Vadeli-Program-2027-2029.pdf) - Cumhurbaşkanlığı Strateji ve Bütçe Başkanlığı — Orta Vadeli Program (2027-2029) Açıklandı (6 September 2026) — [https://www.sbb.gov.tr/orta-vadeli-program-2027-2029-aciklandi/](https://www.sbb.gov.tr/orta-vadeli-program-2027-2029-aciklandi/) ### Related projects - [P09Economic Outlook Report Series](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/projects/economic-outlook-report-series) - [P07Investment and Incentives Advisory Desk](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/projects/investment-and-incentives-advisory-desk) ### More news - [7 October 2026TİBİAD membership applications are accepted online](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/news/membership-applications-open-online) - [6 October 2026Call to join our sixteen sector boards](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/news/call-to-join-sector-boards) - [30 September 2026Exports up 8.1% in August; high-technology share at 3.6%](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/news/august-exports-and-technology-intensity) - [29 September 2026Industrial production fell in July; capacity utilisation rose in September](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/news/industrial-production-and-capacity-utilisation-september-2026) [PreviousAugust price data: the energy effect stands out in producer costs](https://tibiad.org.tr/en/news/august-price-data-and-production-costs)
