The year 2023 will mark the centennial of the Turkish Republic. The government has set an ambitious economic goal for this date: for Turkey to become the 10th largest global economy.

The author argues that Turkey can only achieve its goals for 2023 and beyond if it emerges as a stable and mature democracy that provides the necessary background for a successful economy and a thriving business community.
