Research AreasThis methodological report focuses on the analysis and visualization of trade data between Germany and Turkey from 2012 to 2023, specifically examining the export flows from Turkey to Germany in 2023, the import flows from Germany to Turkey in 2023, and the trends in the top sectors of trade from 2010 to 2023. Germany and Turkey maintain strong economic ties, particularly in trade, which forms a crucial pillar of their bilateral relationship. These economic ties, alongside shared political, cultural, and institutional dimensions, highlight the potential for even deeper cooperation.
The analysis is based on data from the UN Comtrade database, processed and aggregated to provide insights into key trends in bilateral trade. The Harmonized System (HS) 2012 classification was used to ensure consistency across the years, enabling the generation of figures that capture the dynamics of trade flows. This report details the methods used to clean and aggregate the raw data into intermediate products, allowing for the replication and further use of the figures and results. While Germany and Turkey's relationship is multi-faceted, this report emphasizes the economic aspect, providing a solid foundation for understanding the evolving trade patterns and their implications for future cooperation.
The data covers the following time period: 01.12.2023-31.12.2023.
