STUDY EXAMINING THE SITUATION OF ILLICIT TRADE IN TURKIYE

On 1 December, the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade (TRACIT) released its latest study examining the situation of illicit trade in Turkiye, warning that the impacts of soaring inflation can create fertile grounds for illicit trade to flourish.  The report investigates the challenges the country faces with illicit trade on multiple fronts, including grappling with the harmful effects of illicit tobacco, alcohol and petroleum products, as well as a lucrative market for illegal pharmaceuticals.  Due to its geographical location as a gateway to Europe, the country is also a vulnerable transshipment point for counterfeit and pirated finished goods and components across a variety of industry sectors.
