| | TURKEY’S FOREIGN TRADE |
| | Trade deficit (CIF imports – FOB exports) increased between 1990 and 1995 and rose from $ 9,3 billion to $ 14 billion. | | | Economy opened up to world trade, export-promoting incentives were initiated (including tax exemptions, rebates and favorable credit terms), direct import controls have been eliminated, and quantity restrictions have been dismantled. | | | Again as a consequence of 2001 crisis, the share of foreign trade deficit shrank to 6.8 percent and in the years afterwards it has again begun to rise and reached to 11,7% in the year 2004. |

| | A foreign tax credit permits U.S. taxpayers to avoid double taxation by crediting income taxes paid or accrued to (1) a foreign country or (2) a U.S. possession against the U.S. tax liability. | | | Foreign banks can also be used to discount trade bills to finance short term financing. | | | However, if such parties conduct a trade or business in the United States at some time during the year, the parties are taxed on both their U.S. investment income and their income that is attributable to the conduct of the U.S. trade or business. |

| | Originally, trading activities in the communist system were conducted exclusively by the specialized foreign trade organizations (FTOs), which isolated domestic producers of exportables and domestic buyers of imported goods from the world market. | | | The hard-currency trade surplus of US$340 million reported for that period was attributed to a combination of commodity turnover and cancellation of interest payments in Poland's debt reduction agreement with the Paris Club. | | | The high degree of self-sufficiency that was a declared economic objective of Comecon made trade with the West a difficult undertaking for an economy such as Poland's. |
