Türkiye's automotive industry has unveiled a sustainability action plan that is designed to guide and help local carmakers keep their competitiveness in a fast-changing market.

Accounting for half of the top 10 companies, automotive firms have dominated Turkey's list of largest exporters, the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) announced on Sept. 18.

Ford was named Turkey's largest exporter in 2020, followed by Toyota Engine Manufacturing Turkey and Oyak Renault.

Turkey's exports increased by 11.9 percent on a yearly basis to climb by $12.4 billion in August, the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) announced on Sept. 1.

Carmakers were ranked as one of Turkey's largest three exporters in 2016, with Ford Otosan, a joint venture between Ford Motor Co. and Turkey's Koç Holding, topping the list with an export volume of $4 billion. 

Turkey's exports rose again for the seventh month in a row, hitting $12.5 billion in May, Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said June 1, adding that the contribution of the country's exports to economic growth would total approximately 1.5 percent in the first quarter. 

Turkey's exports have increased for a third straight month in March, data from the Exporters' Assembly of Turkey (TİM) revealed on April 1.

Turkish exports in March have increased 19 percent year-on-year, the highest rise since November 2012, according to TİM.      

Turkey's exports rose to $11.3 billion in February with a 5.1 percent increase compared to the same month of 2016, according to data from a top sector association. 

The country's 12-month exports reached $143.2 billion with a 2.6 percent of year-on-year increase, the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TİM) announced on March 1. 

Israel will provide Turkish business leaders with longer visas to the country in the future, according to Israel's consul general to Istanbul, Shai Cohen.

"For example, if one of you is involved in a visa application, it will be a three-year, multi-entry visa type," Cohen said Feb. 21 at the Turkey-Israel Business Forum organized by the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM).

Turkey's exports rose to $10.53 billion in January, a 15 percent increase compared to the same period of 2016 and the highest monthly rise in the last 49 months, the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) announced on Feb. 1.
