Last month, Finance Minister Berat Albayrak, who is also Erdogan's son-in-law, said that it had to work with a new medium-term economic program.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), this week accused Erdogan of siding with U.S. firms at a time when relations with Washington have been hit by the detention of a U.S. evangelical pastor in Turkey and other issues.
"This person (Kilicdaroglu) is trying to get to grips with this issue," Erdogan told members of his ruling AK Party.
"In order to not give him that chance …" (McKinsey).
McKinsey was not immediately available for comment.
