Turkey's GDP has been growing with a few setbacks steadily. This year alone the growth is 5%. Turkey has been under a lot of stress for a very long time.

I believe it is unfair to point any data without a mention of above. And do not forget Turkish Lira's value before Erdogan's party came into scene. High inflation (> 50%) for decades, $1 worths over 1,000,000 Turkish Lira and always increasing. All these obscenities were fixed all the while huge infrastructure projects were completed.
