Telecoms and Technology Report Turkey 4th Quarter
The Economist Intelligence Unit, December 2012, Pages: 14
Turkey's telecommunications and information technology (IT) sectors have considerable growth potential, given the country's young population and rising incomes. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the population to rise from an estimated 74.7m in 2012, with an average age of 29, to almost 79m in 2017. At purchasing power parity (PPP), GDP per head will increase from US$15,100 in 2011 to US$20,300 in 2017.
The telecoms and IT sectors recovered strongly from the recession brought on by the 2008-09 global economic crisis, when companies were forced to cut costs and consumers reined in spending. Reflecting weaker global economic conditions and slower credit growth, Turkish economic growth slowed from 8.6% in 2011 to an estimated 3.2% in 2012. We expect it to accelerate to 3.8% in 2013 and about 5% a year during 2014-17.
Although telecoms revenue in Turkey as a percentage of GDP is broadly similar to that in most developed European countries, IT spending is low. The International Data Corporation (IDC) expects it to remain at around 1% of GDP in 2013-17, below levels in Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and Egypt, which are considered major competitors for foreign direct investment.
