Export competition is getting brutal.
The global race for manufacturing and exports is intensifying, and the rules are being rewritten in real time.
Turkey just passed a law (effective 2027) cutting corporate tax for manufacturers from 25% to 12.5% and to just 9% for manufacturer exporters, plus a 100% exemption on service exports. A deliberate bid to pull in capital, talent and FDI.
Egypt drew ~$11B in FDI last year, defying a regional slowdown.
Vietnam & Mexico keep winning factories and supply chains with targeted incentives and reform.
The pattern is clear: capital flows to countries that reward producing and exporting, not those that tax it the hardest. Investors now rank tax incentives and infrastructure as the most effective tools to attract investment.
We cannot afford to lag behind. We must catch up with the competition, overhaul our tax and export framework, and set a bold target: 20 million jobs over the next 10 years.
The countries that act decisively will own the next decade. The ones that hesitate will be left importing what they could have made.

İstanbul'da düzenlenen 3'üncü Küresel İslami Ekonomi Zirvesi'nde konuşan Hazine ve Maliye Bakanı Mehmet Şimşek,
"Burada yeteneği, girişimcileri, sermayeyi ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımı çekmeye çalışıyoruz. Bugün Sayın Cumhurbaşkanı tarafından onaylandı. Parlamentonun onayından zaten geçmişti.
Eğer bir üreticiyseniz ve Türkiye'de opere ediyorsanız kurumlar verginiz 12,5'e indirildi. Bu, en rekabetçi kurumlar vergisi oranlarından biri, dünyada yükselen piyasalarda en rekabetçi rakamlardan biri. Türkiye'ye gelin ve yatırım yapın" dedi.

The Pakistan Textile Council (PTC) has urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to introduce sweeping fiscal and structural reforms in the upcoming Federal Budget 2026-27, warning that the current taxation and regulatory framework has rendered export growth “financially punitive” and unsustainable.
In a detailed supplementary submission to the Prime Minister and other key government authorities Chairman PTC, @fawadanwar presented quantified evidence showing that Pakistan’s largest export sector is facing a severe liquidity crisis due to excessive taxation, delayed refunds and regulatory inefficiencies.
