Today, Turkey’s annual GDP has reached $800 billion, making it Europe’s sixth largest economy and the 17th largest in the world. It has also been one of the least impacted by the global economic crisis, with growing foreign trade, a strong banking system, and diverse and prospering small and medium-size enterprises.
除了其文化，历史和外交价值观之外，土耳其蓬勃发展的经济也成为其稳定和富饶的源泉。当我所属的党派于2002年接管政权时，土耳其的经济总量约为2500亿美元，如今土耳其的年均GDP已达8000亿美元，成为欧洲排名第6，全球位列第17的经济体。土耳其是受世界金融危机影响最小的几个国家之一，对外贸易持续增长，银行系统稳健，同时拥有大量兴旺发达的中小企业。因此土耳其经济在2010年就恢复到了危机前的水平。
