🎓 Turkish Students in the UK Increased by Nearly 60%

Turkish student enrolment in the UK increased by nearly 60% from 2020 to 2023, reflecting a key shift in the UK's international education market. Turkey’s limited university capacity and large population of nearly 90M make it a large target market for UK universities, especially as international education is a high revenue-generating model for the UK. The UK’s strong academic reputation and post-study work options make it an attractive choice for students, which reflects why Turkey is one of the largest source markets for the UK.

⚕️ India’s Public Health Spending Was 5% Below the Global Average

India’s public health spending remains over 5% lower than the global average, despite being among the world’s top five economies and fastest-growing nations. Its vast population of 1.4B poses major challenges in ensuring equitable healthcare access. Limited public funding, spread across sectors like defense, manufacturing, and education, results in heavy reliance on the private sector, making healthcare expensive. Many areas face persistent facility and workforce shortages. Addressing these issues requires sustained public investment, improved rural infrastructure, and a stronger focus on primary healthcare through a long-term, multi-pronged strategy.

🏭 Italy’s Annual Industrial Robotic Installation Declined by Nearly 20%

Italy’s industrial robot installations fell by nearly 20% in 2024; however, Italy installed over 9K units and remains the second highest in Europe. A key reason for the decline was the delayed rollout of Italy’s Transition 5.0 program, which offers tax credits based on energy-saving investments like its predecessor, Transition 4.0. The delay created a “wait-and-see” approach among businesses, particularly those planning major automation investments, who postponed purchases in anticipation of enhanced incentives that were only finalized in late 2024.
