The short answer is yes. Because in order to adapt any country or culture knowing its language is a must. So in that regard knowing Turkish as a language is very important. But having said that, despite not knowing Turkish majority of the people live here without much a problem in their daily life. And gradually most people learn a working language for daily use. And unlike many other migrant friendly countries, Turkish people are generally welcoming and if you know their language they like to get along with you. In my personal experience myself and especially my kids have adapted the language pretty well. It is a matter of personal preferences as well.

Let’s understand this with numbers. In the last 3 years the worst performance of the lira against the dollar has been in year 2023, wherein the Lira declined by 57.86% After this the government made major changes in its fiscal policy and increased interest rates which has helped in controlling the inflation and fall of the Turkish lira. In FY 2024 TRY declined by approx. 19.58%, against the dollar, and the Turkish Central Bank increased its deposits rate to 50%. The government has also slowly but steadily been able to control the inflation from the highs of 58.51% in 2024 to 37.86% in April 2025 with an year end target of 29%. The current year deposit rate is 46%. Given the above positive indicators and economic parameters the lira is expected to hold its decline and yield good returns for investors even in hard currency terms.
