　　Some of the concerns surrounding turkey & rsquo; S application to join the European union, to be voted on by the eu & rsquo; S Council of ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country & rsquo; S relativepoverty.its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the eu.but it is not far off that of one E ten new members which joined on may 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, Which this week concluded accession talks with the eu that could make them full members on January 1st 2007.

　　Its stock of such investment (as a percentage of GDP) is lower now than it was in the 1980s, And annual inflows have scarcely ever reached $1 billion (whereas Ireland attracted over $25 billion in 2003, as did Brazil in everion

　　One deterrent to foreign investors is due to disappear on January 1st 2005. on that day, Turkey will take away the right of virtually every one of its citizens to call themselves a millionaire.six noughts will be removed from the face vace One unit of the local currency will henceforth be worth what 1m are now-ie, about? 0.53 ($0.70). goods will have to be priced in both the new and old lira for the whole of the year, But foreign bankers and investors can begin to look forward to a time in turkey when they will no longer have to juggle mentally with indeterminate strite
