The seven-month export from January to July reached $148.8 billion, while the 12-month export reached $261.5 billion. Compared to the same period last year, seven-month exports increased by 4.1%, and the last 12-month exports rose by 3.4%.

As part of the preparations for the 11th Türkiye Innovation Week, which will be organized for the 11th time this year by the Türkiye Exporters Assembly, the "TIW 2024 II. Common Mind Workshop" was held.

Noting that production costs have increased by over 100% in the past year, Chairman Gültepe said, “In some sectors, the rate has exceeded 120%. In the same period, the increase in the dollar exchange rate remained at 25%. Therefore, we are unable to set prices in many sectors. We fell short of our targets in the first half of the year.”

In the ranking of the top exporting sectors, the automotive industry maintained its leading position in June with $2.6 billion, followed by the chemical industry with $2.3 billion and the steel sector with $1.3 billion.

Evaluating the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) decision to remove Türkiye from the Grey List, Chairman of the Türkiye Exporters Assembly Mustafa Gültepe said, "The decision taken by the Financial Action Task Force is a turning point for our country's economy. In this period where we need new investments within the framework of our 2028 export targets, the importance of this decision for us is immense."

To enhance market diversity, the Türkiye Exporters Assembly facilitated meetings between Turkish exporters and buyers worldwide, organizing comprehensive trade delegations in June to Tanzania, the United Kingdom, and Algeria, encompassing all sectors.
