ANKARA - Turkey is one of the countries which has had great economic performance in recent years, Andrew Vorkink, the head of World Bank's Mission in Turkey, said on Tuesday.
Taking the floor in a conference on ''administrative structures adopted in line with EU negotiations'', organized at the Ankara Sheraton by the World Bank Institute, Vorkink noted that he expects that this performance will be sustained.
Vorkink indicated that Turkey's EU membership bid will encourage Turkey to go on with political, macro economic and structural reforms.
According to Vorkink, Turkey's economy is far more different and robust than that of five years ago.
Turkey should consider EU full membership negotiations as an opportunity to maintain reforms, assure economic stability and speed up growth, added Vorkink.
