Katman Economics Portal reaches six-month mark with over 240 articles

Launched on February 15, 2026, the Katman Economics Portal has reached a significant milestone, completing its first six months with a robust collection of 247 articles. The portal boasts a dedicated team of over 50 regular writers, consistently publishing between six and ten new pieces each week. Its editorial scope is extensive, delving into critical economic subjects such as growth, monetary policy, inflation, distribution, women's labor, development, the environment, artificial intelligence, and economic thought.

Katman focuses on Turkey's economic agenda through the lens of broad public welfare. It also closely monitors developments in emerging economies and the global economic landscape. Beyond current economic policy analyses, the portal features theoretical and methodological discussions, alongside data-driven research. It champions a pluralistic platform, encouraging writers to express their views independently, with an editorial board ensuring clarity and consistency without altering core arguments.

Operating on a non-profit, volunteer-driven model, Katman aims to blend academic rigor with accessibility. Its structure relies on the participation of contributing writers and editorial boards. This unique model, characterized by its volunteer spirit, non-profit status, and a community of over 50 writers producing frequent original content, sets it apart internationally. Future plans include expanding its reach by introducing English-language content starting in September, translating existing Turkish articles, and activating a YouTube channel to further disseminate economic and political economy discussions within Turkey and enhance their global visibility.
