Turkey reported a record-breaking 21.9% increase in exports in June 2026, reaching $24.94 billion, according to Trade Minister Ömer Bolat. This marks the third-highest monthly export figure on record, following $26.4 billion in December 2025 and $25.4 billion in April 2026. However, imports rose by 23.1% to $35.32 billion, widening the foreign trade deficit to $10.38 billion, a 26.3% increase from the previous year. Over the first six months of 2026, exports grew 3.6% to $136.1 billion, while imports rose 4.6% to $189.2 billion, leading to a trade deficit of $53.1 billion, up 7.4% from the same period in 2025. The U.S.-Iran conflict disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, causing sharp rises in energy prices, though some stability has returned since an interim agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Turkey’s annualized exports reached a record $278 billion, with total foreign trade volume hitting nearly $652 billion, up $29 billion from the previous year.
Ta mejnik je poudaril minister za trgovino Ömer Bolat na tiskovni konferenci v Istanbulu, kjer je junij opisal kot "spektakularen" mesec za turški izvoz.
S povečanjem izvoza je sledil ustrezen porast uvoza, ki se je povečal za 23,1% in dosegel 35,32 milijarde USD. Posledično se je zunanje trgovinski primanjkljaj povečal za 26,3%, kar je skupno 10,38 milijarde USD. Vendar pa je ob upoštevanju prvih šestih mesecev leta širša trgovinska dinamika pokazala mešano sliko. Medtem ko je izvoz zrasel z 3,6% na 136,1 milijarde USD, se je uvoz nekoliko povečal za 4,6% na 189,2 milijarde USD, kar je privedlo do širjenja trgovinskega primanjkljaja v višini 53,1 milijarde USD, kar je 7,4% več v primerjavi z istim obdobjem leta 2025.
Gospodarsko pokrajino so dodatno oblikovali dolgotrajni vplivi ameriško-iranijskega spopada, ki se je začel 28. februarja 2026. Spopad je sprva povzročil resne motnje, vključno s začasno zaprtjem strateško pomembnega Hormuškega preliva, kar je povzročilo strmo zvišanje cen energije. Čeprav se je po začasnem sporazumu med ZDA in Iranom vrnila nekakšna normalnost, je situacija še vedno krhka, brez jasne poti do dolgoročne stabilnosti. Kljub tej negotovosti je turški izvozni sektor pokazal izjemno prilagodljivost in ohranil visoko raven proizvodnje tudi med naraščajočimi prevoznimi in petrokemičnimi stroški.
Izvajanje blaga in storitev je prvič v zgodovini preseglo prag 400 milijard dolarjev in doseglo 400,3 milijarde dolarjev. Te številke so poudarjale naraščajočo vlogo Turčije v svetovni trgovini, čeprav so bile blažene zaradi nadaljnjega širjenja uvoza, ki je v istem obdobju naraslo na 373,7 milijarde dolarjev.
Uspeh turškega izvoznega sektorja je bil deloma posledica diverzifikacije trgov in vztrajnosti domačih proizvajalcev. Po mnenju Mustafe Gultepeja, predsednika skupščine izvoznikov Türiyeja (TIM), so turški izvozniki še naprej iskali nove priložnosti v tujini in znatno prispevali k prilivu tuje valute.
Medtem ko so neposredni učinki povišanih cen energije lahko predstavljali izzive, so ministri za finance in trgovino poudarili, da bo primanjkljaj tekočega računa verjetno ostal v trajnostnih mejah. Minister za trgovino Bolat je ponovil zavezanost Turčije, da bo presegla svoj letni cilj izvoza v višini 282 milijard dolarjev, kar poudarja sposobnost države, da se spopada s kompleksnimi globalnimi pogoji in ohranja svojo konkurenčno prednost na mednarodnih trgih.

Türkiye's exports reached a record $278 billion over a 12-month rolling basis, according to Trade Minister Ömer Bolat, who announced this during a press conference in Istanbul. In June alone, exports increased by 21.9% compared to the previous year, reaching nearly $25 billion, the highest level ever recorded for that month. Annualized goods and services exports exceeded $400 billion by the end of June, marking a historic milestone. Imports in June rose by 23.1%, totaling $35.3 billion, resulting in a foreign trade deficit of approximately $10.3 billion. The export-to-import coverage ratio stood at around 70.8%. Over the first half of the year, exports grew by 3.6% to $136.1 billion, while imports increased by 4.6% to $189.2 billion, leading to a widening trade deficit of $53.1 billion. Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek noted that while exports are performing well, rising energy prices could affect the foreign trade balance in the coming months.
