Türkiye is looking to increase its exports to $265 billion by the end of 2023, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.
“Despite the negative global economic outlook, we want to increase our exports to $265 billion at the end of this year and $285 billion next year,” Erdogan said addressing the 30th Ordinary General Assembly of Turkish Exporters Assembly and Export Champions Award Ceremony in Ankara.
“Today, if we have products labeled with the stamp ‘Made in Türkiye’ even in the farthest places of the world, it is our exporters who have the most significant part in this,” he said.
Erdogan also touched upon the negative effects on economy caused by the Feb. 6 twin earthquakes centered in southern Türkiye.
“The adverse effects of the earthquake on our economy are diminishing day by day,” he said.
“Despite the disaster of the century, our exports continue their strong progress.”
The president also said that Türkiye’s 2028 export target is “$400 billion and above.”
“Hopefully, in 2023, we will witness 2 million health tourists and $3 billion in exports together.”
