Türkiye's economy is diversified, with key sectors including manufacturing, automotive production, textiles, agriculture, construction, tourism and services. The currency is the Turkish lira. The country is a major exporter of machinery, vehicles, textiles, food products and steel, and serves as a strategic energy corridor between Europe and Asia. Türkiye is a presidential republic and a member of international organisations including the United Nations, NATO, the G20 and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. It is also a candidate for membership of the European Union. The country has significant geopolitical importance owing to its location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Türkiye has a rich historical legacy as the centre of the Ottoman Empire and earlier civilisations, which continues to influence its cultural and political identity today.
