Türkiye's exports grew by nearly 22% in a record-breaking June, as trade rebounded despite geopolitical tensions led by the Iran war and volatility in global commodities, Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said on Friday.
Outbound shipments rose by 21.9% compared to the same month last year, reaching $24.94 billion, Bolat told a press conference in Istanbul.
"June went down in the records as a spectacular month for exports. We reached almost $25 billion in monthly exports. This is a record for the month of June," he said.
It also marked the third-highest monthly figure ever recorded after $26.4 billion in December 2025 and $25.4 billion this April, he added.
Imports rose 23.1% to $35.32 billion, meaning the foreign trade deficit was up by 26.3% from a year ago to $10.38 billion.
