Key Takeaways
– Turkey’s economy is expanding at 3.6% (World Bank, 2025), but this growth is running dangerously hot alongside a 34.9% inflation rate, creating a classic “overheating” scenario that erodes real household purchasing power.
– Unemployment remains relatively contained at 8.52% (World Bank), suggesting the labor market is absorbing workers even as the cost-of-living crisis deepens.
– GDP has crossed the $1.59 trillion mark (World Bank), with GDP per capita on a purchasing power parity basis reaching $45,288 — placing Turkey firmly in the upper-middle-income bracket.
– The political environment is a defining risk factor: Turkey operates as a presidential republic within a multi-party system, but international observers characterize it as a competitive authoritarian system rather than a functioning democracy, which complicates long-term investment planning.
РA diversified corporate landscape spans banking, defense electronics, consumer durables, and telecommunications, with major players like Akbank, Aselsan, and Ar̤elik anchoring the economy.
