Özet:

Abstract enEconomic growth potential of developing countries and its sustainability is one of the important research areas of economics. The challenge to reach the high-income countries is called the Middle Income Trap (MIT). Turkey was among the low-middle income countries group between the years of 1955-2005 and since 2005 Turkey belongs to the high-middle income countries group. Turkey is one of the longest remaining countries in the middle-income group and whether Turkey fell into the middle-income trap or has not been subject to discussion among economists. In this study, by explaining the MIT, the contingency of Turkey’s falling into the Middle Income Trap (MIT) will be analyzed and the possibility of Turkey’s approach to the high-income countries group will be discussed
