i Economic Overview


As of 2008, Turkey was the 17th largest economy in the world according to the International Monetary Fund, being significantly larger than Poland and Indonesia, and coming behind the Netherlands and South Korea. Its GDP on a nominal basis was $729 million. The IMF estimates that per capita GDP of Turkey was $13,138 at current prices on a purchasing power parity basis, above the figures for Bulgaria and Romania.



In the past three decades, GDP has grown at a compound rate of 4.3%, but growth has been uneven. The financial crisis of 2001 led to a fall of 6.8% in GDP. A revival began in early 2002, and, according to the new GDP series, between 2002 and 2006 growth resumed an an impressive cumulative average rate of 7.2% - 6.2% in 2002, 5.3% in 2003, 9.4% in 2004, 8.4% in 2005, 6.9% in 2006 and 4.5% in 2007. The annual rate of growth in GDP in the second quarter of 2008 fell to 2.3% and in the third quarter to 0.5%, before a 6.2% fall in the fourth quarter.

In April 2009, the Government had sharply to reduce its short-term growth forecast. It currently expects the economy to shrink by 3.6% in 2009 but then - albeit slowly - to resume growth with 3.3% in 2010 and 4.5% in 2011.

Turkey is the second most populated country in Europe after Germany and the 16th in the world. The Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkstat) estimates the current population to be 71.5 million. Turkey’s population is relatively young. In 2008, 28% of the population was aged under 14 and the portion of the population aged over 60 was only 8%.



Until the early 1980s, Turkey had a notably high share of rural population. Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation mean that by the end of 2008 the urbanisation rate of Turkey was close to the EU-27 average.1 Turkey has five cities with over 1 million inhabitants. Istanbul’s over 12 million people make it one of the largest cities in Europe.
