A Diversified Economy That Benefits From Excellent Infrastructure
Strategically placed at the crossroads between Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, Türkiye also boasts a large domestic market, favorable demographics and a skilled workforce. Its economy is underpinned by highly diversified industrial, manufacturing and service sectors, while agriculture still accounts for about 25% of the labor force employment. Despite its political stability and openness to foreign investment, challenges such as a lack of transparency, dependence on imported energy, and high inflation and external debt have constrained Türkiye’s economic growth potential.
