Turkey is a natural bridge between both the East-West and the North-South axes, thus creating an efficient and cost-effective hub to major markets. Turkey offers easy access to 1.5 billion people and a combined market worth of USD 24 trillion GDP in Europe, MENA, and Central Asia within a 4-hour flight radius. Turkish Airlines connects 255 destinations in 122 countries. Multinationals are increasingly choosing Turkey as a preferred hub for manufacturing, exports, as well as management.
Turkey's economic growth over the recent years has been driven by a robust domestic market and an entrepreneurial private sector that combined have spurred investments and exports.
• Turkey is the 11th largest economy in terms of GDP per capita among countries with population over 50 million.
• The Turkish economy, from 2003 to 2018, has posted record growth and climbed from 18th place to 13th globally.
• Over the past 16 years, Turkey has put in a noteworthy performance by increasing the size of its overall economy from USD 236 billion in 2002 to USD 784 billion in 2018.
• Turkey has grown its overall export volume from USD 36 billion in 2002 to USD 168 billion in 2018 and has achieved significant export diversification both in terms of export destinations and products.
The young and well-educated population of Turkey is a great asset as investors are facing considerable challenges elsewhere in Europe with ageing and shrinking populations. Turkey’s population was registered as 82 million in 2018. It is expected to reach 86.9 million by 2023, and 100.3 million by 2040, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. Turkey, with half of its population under the age of 32 in 2018, has the largest youth population among the EU member countries. Turkey's overall labor force is around 32.7 million people, which makes the country the 3rd largest labor force in Europe.
