Jesus Christ Christianity is unthinkable without the figure of Jesus Christ.

Religion Project. Turkey: Growing poverty and social inequality. By Sinan Ikinci 24 April 2003 Income differences between social classes are deepening and becoming one of Turkey’s major problems, a recent survey conducted by the Kum Company has shown.
Turkey’s richest families have upwards of 10.5 billion Turkish lira (TL) in monthly income—approximately $6,360 at current exchange rates—while the poorest families try to survive on TL 132 million ($80). In 2001 Turkey suffered the most severe economic crisis the country had known in its modern history. The so-called “Disinflation Program,” projected to last for three years covering the period 2000-2002, was implemented under the auspices of the IMF. At the end of only one year it turned out to be one of the greatest disasters for IMF policy. In the last two years, increasing numbers of working people have found themselves in a state of exhaustion and desperation. After the financial crash of 2001 a new program was put into effect, creating even worse conditions for this segment of society.
Turkey’s economic future under the spotlight. Partly because of its successful management of Turkey’s economy, the ruling AK Party looks set to retain power in Sunday’s elections, but there are also worries among investors that it is growing too strongly and is in danger of overheating.
Turkey’s GDP grew 8.9 percent last year and probably expanded by just over 10 percent in the first quarter of this year. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates growth this year will be 6.5 percent and inflation 5.7 percent, though prices have accelerated recently. Turkey’s unemployment rate is 10.6 percent, slightly above the euro zone average.
The Chief Economist with JP Morgan in Istanbul told euronews: “The Turkish economy has passed through an important structural transition. Monetary and fiscal policies have been disciplined. The central bank has left interest rates comparatively low – they are currently at a record low 6.5 percent – and has increased the amounts Turkish banks must keep in reserve. World.

Enhancing Turkey's growth prospects by improving formal sector business conditions. Emerging Markets: Beyond The Big Four. The biggest, fastest-growing economies of the Third World are Brazil, Russia, India, and China.
But while the Big Four, also known as BRICs, have attracted the most investor attention in recent years, there are also opportunities in less prominent but more promising emerging markets such as Egypt, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey. They may not have the buzz of billion-plus population markets, but their growth is impressive -- and their stocks, in many cases, can offer superior value. Some pros are wary of India's frothy equity market and mainland China's disclosure-poor companies. Brazil's fragile political situation and Moscow's penchant for interfering in business are also growing concerns. In other words, even within emerging markets it is important to diversify beyond a few core holdings. The six leading non-BRICs are notable for their strong growth profiles, fast-track reform agendas, and investor-friendly climates. By Chester Dawson. The 2011 Legatum Prosperity Index.
