Turkey has a dynamic economy with modern industry and commerce, as well as traditional agriculture.  The private sector has grown in some recent years, yet there is still a strong state presence in basic industry, banking, transport and communications.  Real GDP growth has exceeded 6% in many years, though global economic conditions caused growth to slow to 0.9% in 2008 and to contract by 6.0% in 2009.  Further economic and judicial reforms and prospective EU membership are expected to boost foreign direct investment in coming years (Source:  CIA World Factbook).
