The Economics of Turkey

kurus lira

Turkey has a unique form of currency. Their currency is in liras(shown above). One lira is equal to 100 kurus(above lira).
Turkey's major imports include machinery, fuels, and other raw materials like fruit. Their exports are textiles, clothing, carpets, iron and steel. Turkey's economy is effected by their landscape because if there is more rain the crops grow better, if there is less rain then the crops don't grow as well. The heat during summer also helps the crops be fertile and during the winter Turkey could lose some of its crops. In fact Turkey does do worse in the winter because of how cold it gets they lose a lot of their crops, but the summer brings more hope for the economy. The economy helps the government because with the economy up the government has lass to worry about, but in the winter the government isn't helped by the loss of crops.
