Turkish
Economy Minister Ruhsar Pekcan said that the rising of Turkish exports during
September proves that the Turkish economy is booming and reveals the mistaken economic
analyzes that have recently come to light.
September
witnessed a record growth in Turkish exports either to new markets or to
traditional markets, which means providing more jobs and more foreign exchange
inflows, Pekcan said in an article published by "Euro News"
The
minister pointed out that Turkish exports during the last month increased by
23%, worth 14.5 billion dollars. Turkish exports to the EU increased about
one-quarter from the same month last year, and exports to East Asia rose by
80%.
She
added that the increase in Turkish exports was not limited to traditional
sectors such as the sectors of cars, agricultural products, clothing and
textiles, and steel exports rose by 104%, despite the taxation war launched by
the United States.
The
Minister of Trade pointed out that this increase was the result of effective
economic management and the skill of Turkish workers and the business
community, and stressed that Turkey is ready to counter market fluctuations and
hostile actions targeting the Turkish economy, whether motivated by political
or misleading business policies.
The
Turkish government is doing hard work to help raising awareness about what
Turkish companies can offer and is making efforts to further promote Turkish
products and projects internationally.
The
minister reiterated that the Turkish government is committed to reach a volume
of 500 billion dollars of Turkish exports by 2023, noting that September
analysis confirms that the government followed approach pays off.
