The 1929 global economic crisis negatively affected the economy, and foreign trade shrank significantly. With the First Five-Year Industrial Plan implemented between 1933 and 1938, planned industrialisation was achieved, and the foreign trade deficit turned into a surplus. This policy continued in the first years of the Democratic Party, which came to power in 1950 but later adopted a protectionist policy. As a requirement of the foreign trade policy implemented during the planned development period between 1963 and 1980, the industry was protected and supported with various incentives. Until 1970, there was a balanced foreign trade outlook. However, the economic and political problems that emerged due to the oil crises, embargo, and the overvaluation of TL from time to time also negatively affected foreign trade. In fact, at the end of the 1970s, exports could not even meet oil imports. Later, with the January 24, 1980 decision, Türkiye adopted an export-based industrialisation policy, and the planned development period ended. The study used a literature review and data analysis from 1963 to 1980. It is concluded that Turkey adopted effective industrialisation policies and significantly boosted its industrial product exports during this timeframe. However, after a particular stage in implementing import substitution policies, the dependence on imports for production increased, as in some other countries. It is concluded that the failure to correct the foreign trade deficit, despite high remittances and convertible deposit practices, was one of the main reasons for the economic crisis in the 1970s.}, number={34}, publisher={Yeni Fikir Stratejik Araştırmalar Derneği}, organization={herhangi bir kurum yok}
