The president underlined that Türkiye’s exports in Turkish liras reached nearly 350 billion Turkish liras ($19 billion) last year. “The number of countries and regions to which we export with our currency has reached 197,” Erdogan added. Separately, Trade Ministry revealed that Türkiye’s imports surged by 34.3% year-on-year to $364.4 billion in 2022.
