Turkey — Market Overview
🇹🇷 Turkey
Turkey trades as one of the most policy-sensitive large emerging markets because inflation, FX management, and domestic liquidity conditions can reshape sector leadership and valuation multiples very quickly. The cleanest read usually comes from inflation stabilization, reserve and FX credibility, and whether exporters and banks can keep carrying earnings through a volatile domestic policy cycle.

Variables disponibles
Comercio y posición externa
Exportaciones, servicios y balanza externa
En lugar de un muro genérico de tarjetas macro, esta sección se centra en cómo el país capta demanda del exterior, dónde está su ventaja comercial y cómo evoluciona la balanza externa.
The full export figure, combining goods and services in one line. It is the cleanest way to read how much external demand Turkey is capturing across both physical products and higher-value intangible flows.
This is the merchandise side of exports: industrial supplies, capital goods, autos, food, and other physical products. It matters because it reflects the health of manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and the broader global industrial cycle.
This is the intangible side: finance, travel, licensing, business services, and IP-linked flows. It matters because it shows where Turkey is strongest in higher-margin, knowledge-intensive, and branded service activities.

Qué vigilar
Marco de lectura
inflation regime
Turkey should first be read through inflation regime. When this regime shifts, local multiples and sector leadership usually shift with it.
FX credibility
The cleanest read usually comes from inflation stabilization, reserve and FX credibility, and whether exporters and banks can keep carrying earnings through a volatile domestic policy cycle. That makes fx credibility one of the most important signals for revising the country narrative.
banks and exporters
The final layer is banks and exporters, because it determines whether the macro backdrop turns into sustainable earnings support for the BIST 100.

Real GDP growth
Qué señala esto
GDP growth is published quarterly and annualized, so each point captures how fast real output was expanding or contracting versus the prior quarter at an annual rate. It matters because it is the broadest scorecard of domestic economic momentum and sets the backdrop for revenues, employment, and policy expectations. Versus a year ago, the series is higher by 0.3%, which points to an improving or firmer backdrop on this measure. Across the displayed window, the broader trend is still downward.
