Türkiye's services exports rose 6.5% in 2025 to a record $124.9 billion (TL 6.05 trillion), exceeding the government's target and contributing significantly to financing the country's current account deficit, the Trade Ministry said on Friday.
The figure surpassed the previous year's $117.3 billion and was also above the $122.6 billion reported earlier in the central bank's balance of payments data, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat).
Services imports increased 9.6% to $61.9 billion from $56.4 billion in 2024, leaving Türkiye with a services trade surplus of $63 billion, up 3.6% from a year earlier.
The result exceeded the government's 2025 services exports target of $121 billion, the ministry said.
"Türkiye has reached its highest-ever services exports figure and set a new record," the ministry said in a statement, adding that the country ranked 22nd globally in services exports.
