The Economy of Turkey

Turkey is showing an excellent economic performance. This is a reflection of the political stability of the country as a whole. The country's progress in recent years has been remarkable. The benefits of the government's commitment to its economic program are clearly visible. Much has been achieved since the current reform program was started. The challenge now is to build on those achievements and exploit Turkey's potential as a rapidly-growing and increasingly sophisticated economy. Turkey's system of government is based on free and democratic elections.
