Bei den Kommunalwahlen in der Türkei geht es um mehr als Lokalpolitik. Inmitten einer Finanzkrise mit Rekordinflation spielen Wirtschafts- und Finanzfragen eine zentrale Rolle. Jens Bastian und Yaşar Aydın erklären, wie das auch die deutsch-türkischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen beeinflussen könnte.

Vor 100 Jahren, am 29. Oktober 1923, gründete Mustafa Kemal Atatürk die Republik Türkei. Wie haben sich das Land und seine Wirtschaft seitdem entwickelt? Was sind die Stärken und Schwächen der Nummer 19 der führenden Industrienationen? Darüber diskutieren Jens Bastian und Yaşar Aydın mit Dominik Schottner.
Turkey's parliamentary and presidential elections concluded with the re-election of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The president's views on monetary policy are frequently labelled “unorthodox”. Instead of addressing double-digit inflation by raising interest rates, he has advocated that the central bank cut them, thereby fuelling inflation. In the run-up to the elections, Erdoğan increased budgetary expenditure by raising wages and pensions for public sector workers. Following his re-election, the Turkish lira fell to a record low against the dollar. Given the difficult economic situation in Turkey and the importance of the European single market for Ankara, will the Turkish government change the course of its economic policy? And will the EU and the US use Turkey's economic dependence on the EU and the West in general to demand that Ankara take steps to limit the circumvention of EU and NATO sanctions against Russia? Experts from the CATS Network and other institutions respond to our questions.

Um das Verhältnis zwischen Ankara und Athen ist es nicht zum Besten bestellt. Das will der türkische Präsident mit einem Besuch in Griechenland nun offenbar ändern.
