Speaking at a seminar organized by the Turkish Industrialists and Businessmens Association (TUSIAD) in Istanbul, Ulrich Zachau, the World Banks Country Director for Turkey, said that the effects of the global economic crisis were beginning to be seen in Turkey.
However, the Turkish economy was stronger than in the past and was in a position to better deal with such fluctuations, Zachau said.
Turkey had made significant progress since 2002, he said, having grown in the past six years.
