Türkiye’s next generation need the tools to grow the economy

Steven Yankelson

Amid global turmoil, Türkiye remains resilient. No economy is isolated from the effects of today’s geopolitical landscape, with rising energy prices and supply chain disruptions being felt worldwide. Yet the broader picture in Türkiye is one of continued momentum, with the economy still projected to grow. As Türkiye looks to sustain its impressive growth trajectory and establish itself as a global economic hub, it must ensure the workforce is equipped to deliver on this ambition.

Türkiye’s students need to understand the immense role financial markets play in the world around them and the role of Türkiye in the global financial order. Türkiye’s has been a key intermediary between global financial powerhouses. And now it has emerged as a major player in international finance itself. This has happened simultaneously with the rapid digitization of markets. This means students also need the technology, trusted data and research required to understand why market players make the decisions they make. The same decisions that deploy capital into infrastructure, businesses, and the development they see around them every day.
