TurkeyChapitres
Doing business in Türkiye offers significant strategic and economic advantages for international companies. The country’s geographic position between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East makes it an important trade and logistics hub, enabling businesses to access multiple regional markets efficiently. Türkiye also has a large and young population, which provides both a strong domestic consumer market and a sizable workforce. In addition, the country has a well-developed manufacturing sector, competitive labor costs, and strong industrial capabilities in areas such as automotive, textiles, electronics, and construction materials. Its Customs Union agreement with the European Union facilitates trade with EU markets, making Türkiye an attractive production and export base. Government incentives, improving infrastructure, and a growing technology ecosystem further strengthen the country’s appeal for investors looking to expand into regional and global markets.

Indicateurs macroéconomiques
Türkiye has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the OECD over the past decade. However, the income gap with OECD countries remains large and structural challenges persist. More prudent macroeconomic policies are helping to restore sustainable growth and to reduce economic imbalances and should be pursued. Over the long term, improving public finances will require more efficient consumption taxes, a broader income tax base, and strengthened social assistance. Higher labour market participation is also key. Women's participation remains particularly low and would benefit, among other measures, from expanding affordable early childhood education and care. Türkiye has made significant progress in addressing climate change, but emissions are still growing. Reaching the target of zero net emissions by 2053 would require higher effective pricing of carbon and transitioning away from coal. Finally, potential growth per worker in Türkiye has been slowing down and productivity remains relatively low, notably in services sectors. To boost living standards in a sustainable way, the country needs to improve productivity by upskilling the labour force, enhancing innovation, and easing business regulations.
