Türkiye’s exports hit record $283.7 billion

Exports rose 5.2% to $210.97 billion in the January-September period, while annualized exports climbed to a record $283.7 billion.

Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said that although imports increased due to commodity prices, the rise in the foreign trade deficit remained more limited than expected. Despite geopolitical tensions, Şimşek said the current account deficit is expected to remain manageable at 2.6% of GDP, adding that support for exporters will continue.
