Turkey is considered a newly industrialized country (NIC) and is a member of the G-20 industrial nations, a group consisting of the 20 largest economies in the world. It is an economy no longer dominated by agriculture but by a dynamically growing industry and service sector, especially in its western cities. In the past couple of years Turkey has performed as one of the world's fastest growing economies, with fewer government controls over private industries, a soaring level of foreign investment and increasingly liberalized trade policies. Through strong business ties, Ester Yildiz facilitates reliable commercial product transactions between Turkey, the United States, and their economic partners.
