What is the export target of the government for the next 5 years.

TİM - Türkiye İhracatçılar Meclisi - 11'nci Kalkınma Planı ve İhracat Hedefleri

2023 İHRACAT HEDEFİ 226,6 MİLYAR DOLAR. BEŞ YILDA İHRACAT YÜZDE 35, YILLIK ORTALAMA YÜZDE 6,2 ARTACAK. PLANDA, İHRACATTA ÖNCEKİ DÖNEMLERE GÖRE DAHA TEMKİNLİ HEDEFLER KONULDUĞU GÖRÜLÜYOR.

The 2023 target is approximately 230 billion dollars.

BUT

It was determined as 458 billion dollars in the "Foreign Trade Projection 2002-2023" prepared by the Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade, 2002. The report envisaged a foreign trade deficit of $ 100 billion. Then, in the AKP's 2023 projection decleration, the target was revised to $ 500 billion and it was said that the foreign trade deficit would disappear. However, after a short time, the 2008 Global Crisis started to change financial balances in the world. Then this situation were followed by domestic crises mostly after 2013. And since 2016, we have become a country that many countries want to limit its relations commercially with failed coup attempt and especially cross-border military operations from Syria to Libya.In the meantime, there are countless economic and foreign political mistakes and incompetences made by the AKP.

Naturally, we are behind those numbers now. The only advantage is that the import figures declined because of the TL's rapid devaluation and this gives opportunity for trade balance. However, the rapid depreciation of the TL and the inflationary pressure were weaken household purchasing power too much, so its impact on the bottom will not be felt easily.

FYI
More important measure of size when it comes to retail sector it is turnover and square footage; I could only find the turnover.
BIM: 40 billion TL
Migros : 23.1 billion TL
A101 : 20 billion TL
Şok : 16 billion TL
Carrefoursa : 6.5 billion TL

Government is interfering in business concepts and as I see it even incurs loss on businesses with their restrictive measure. The government is trying to get the poor farmers vote by enforcing local production on shelves. I’m all for local production, but if the quality isn’t good then they’re not good enough to be on the shelves.
