Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced Turkey's 64th government's Cabinet members yesterday. After six months of political uncertainty, the government has now shaken off the "interim" tag with political instability one of the major factors in creating a lack of confidence in the Turkish markets. Because of that, ministers assigned to economy-related ministries have been a key concern. In the new Cabinet, while there are some politicians with whom Turkish people are familiar, there are also new figures.Davutoğlu named his deputy prime ministers, however, he didn't mention their areas of responsibilities. But, it will not be a surprise if Mehmet Şimşek is responsible for governing the economy. Mehmet Şimşek has been a deputy for the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) for eight years. The 48-year-old deputy prime minister has served as a state minister responsible for the economy for two years, which is now named the Economy Ministry, and has been finance minister since 2009. He instilled confidence in the markets during his terms thanks to his reputation as a cautious operator. With a bachelor's degree in economics from Ankara University's Political Science Faculty, Şimşek has working experience in international investment banks like UBS and Merrill Lynch.Former Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Binali Yıldırım retained his position at the ministry. Berat Albayrak is the Energy and Natural Resources Minister, while Fikri Işık maintained his position as Science, Industry and Technology Minister.

He has been known as a "man of action" and a "workaholic." As a politician he has developed a reputation as someone who prefers to talk about projects rather than politics.
