Shafaq News/ Iraq emerged as the fifth-largest importer of
Turkish products in the first third of 2025, according to data released
Saturday by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT).

Turkiye’s exports between January and March reached $86.1B,
marking a 3.7% increase compared to the same period last year. Imports also
rose by 6.6%, totaling $120.7B.

Germany retained its position as Turkiye’s top export
market, receiving $7.1B in goods. The UK followed with $5.38B, the US with
$5.13B, Italy with $4.35B, and Iraq with $3.76B.

Iraq remains heavily reliant on imports from neighboring
countries—particularly Turkiye and Iran—with additional goods sourced from Gulf
states and Jordan in smaller volumes.
