OVERVIEW OF THE TURKISH ECONOMY AFTER JULY 15TH

While the 15 July 2016 attempted coup presented a major attack to the Turkish Republic, the economic fallout will be limited and short-term. The unanimous solidarity demonstrated against the coup-plotters has strengthened the country's resolve and reinjected confidence into the economy. Assessing Turkey's economic trajectory in the post July 15th climate, the author argues that the country will continue to be attractive to investors, projects and reforms will go forward, and exports will increse. Furthermore, several initiatives initiated by the Justice and Development Party (AKP) - notably the Turkish Asset Fund and a new incentive system - will facilitate Turkey's 2023 goal of becoming one of the world's top economies.
