ekonomisi

Ekonomisi is a Turkish noun phrase formed by the noun ekonomi (economy) plus the third-person possessive suffix -si, and it means “the economy of X” or “X’s economy.” The form is commonly used to refer to the economic system, conditions, or performance of a country, region, city, or organization. In practice, the possessor is usually stated in the preceding noun phrase, as in Türkiye ekonomisi (the Turkish economy) or ilin ekonomisi (the region’s economy), but the possessive form on ekonomisi can also stand in when the context makes the possessor clear.

In Turkish discourse, ekonomisi appears in journalism, policy analysis, and academic writing to discuss macroeconomic indicators, growth, sector composition, trade, and fiscal or monetary policy as they affect a specific economy. The phrase is frequently used alongside related terms such as ekonomik, ekonomi bilimi, and ekonomistler to express ideas about economic conditions, trends, and theory.

Etymology and language notes: ekonomisi derives from ekonomi (economy), which itself comes from the French économie, ultimately from the Greek oikonomia, meaning the management of a household or economy. The possessive suffix -si attaches to the noun to indicate ownership or association, producing phrases like Türkiye ekonomisi or bölgenin ekonomisi.
