Abstract:
The Turkish business sector's successful post-crisis performance has come under strain. Mounting competition from low-cost countries and strong real currency appreciation - until the early months of 2008 - have together undermined the performance of the trade-exposed sector, in particular of the segments dependent on low-skilled labour and domestic inputs. The resulting competitive squeeze gradually spilled-over to trade-sheltered activities, slowing down GDP growth.Document Type: Review article
