Turkey at a Glance

Why Turkey
Turkey is growing. Its location is an advantage in reaching consumers in Europe, Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. It is well connected to the international community through membership in the Council of Europe, G-20 major economies, OECD, NATO and the UN. Turkey recognizes the importance of trade. It is part of the Customs Union with the European Union and has Free Trade Agreements with a number of countries, including Egypt, Morocco, Croatia, Israel and several others. The U.S. is one of Turkey’s main trading partners and trade between the two countries has grown steadily over the past few decades.
