Europe's crises, Germany's leadership and Turkey's EU accession process
Özet
The unique and deep-rooted relations between Turkey
and Germany rest upon a variety of political, economic
and societal linkages. Germany is defined as
Turkey’s leading trading partner, with bilateral trade volume reaching a new record of 36.8 billion euros in 2015. For decades, Germany has been the biggest foreign investor in Turkey. The number of Turkish and German companies with German capital operating in Turkey has risen to approximately 6,500, while Turkish companies have been increasingly involved in foreign direct investments in Germany and setting up businesses in sectors of strategic importance for both parties.
