To many people I know, the crisis apparently effected them, some friends used to work in Southern China Guangdong province have lost their job due to the close up of the companies they work for (Thousands of small factories and companies died because of the Crisis), some friends have their own stores got less business, and people are commonly not willing to spend money.

While our Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the crisis just touched Turkey, there isn't a nice news, especially in automotive and construction sectors. Petty dealers are suffering. I'm working as a freelance translator. Apart from foreign companies, I'm working for some Turkish translation companies. I received jobs from these companies and not suffered. In February, there was a little slowdown but anyway everything seems ok in our sector. But my wife's salary was paid very late in February and it hasn't been paid yet in March. So something actually goes wrong in Turkey. There will be local elections at the end of March and then everything will be more clear, either bad or a little good. But I'm sure that nothing will be perfect in Turkey. TURKEY: Financial crisis affected Turkish economy too much.
