Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated

Turkey’s economy grew at a rate of 2.5% in the first quarter of 2026, a slowdown attributed to a sharp decline in exports.

The Turkish Statistical Institute reported that the country’s GDP expanded by 2.5% year‑on‑year, the lowest pace in recent years. Exports fell sharply, contributing to the muted growth figure.

The slowdown comes as Turkey faces ongoing tensions with Iran, which has impacted trade flows and economic activity across the region.
