摘要:Turkey’s exports increased substantially in the years between 1996 and
2006. In 1996, the total value of exports was 23 billion dollars, whereas
in 2006 it reached 85 billion dollars. Before concentrating on the export
performance of Turkey over the last 11 years, it is necessary to
determine the process of the integration of the Turkish economy into the
world economy. Turkey’s import substitution industrialization strategy in
1960s and 1970s shifted towards an export-oriented industrialization
strategy in the 1980s. The main objectives of the new strategy were the
promotion of exports, liberalization of the foreign trade regime, and
encouragement of the private sector activities. Since that date, the main
stimulus behind the governments’ economic policies has been the
integration of the Turkish economy into world markets and the
promotion of exports. In this regard, the beginning of 1980s constitutes
a turning point in the economic history of Turkey.
