Abstract

Export is an important component of economies in the global economy. Similarly, export constitutes an important dynamic for economic growth. In the context of foreign trade, MENA countries also constitute an important component of the global economy. For this purpose, in this study, the contribution of export value added, and sectoral export value added to the economy has been analysed for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) economies. Besides, import dependency of intermediate input in sectoral production activities has been analysed for these economies. In the study, input-output models were used making use of the input-output tables in the OECD database. According to the findings obtained as a result of the input-output analysis the contribution of export value added to the economy varies between 25-50%. In this context, the contribution of export value added to the economy is calculated as 50% in Saudi Arabia, %30 in Tunisia and 24% in Israel and Morocco. The contribution of sectoral export value added to the economy varies in these economies. Also, in these economies, the import dependency of intermediate input is high in the manufacturing industry.

ORTA DOĞU ve KUZEY AFRİKA (MENA) EKONOMİLERİNDE İHRACAT KATMA DEĞERİ VE İTHALAT BAĞIMLILIĞI: GİRDİ- ÇIKTI ANALİZİ

Abstract

Küresel ekonomide ihracat, ekonomilerin önemli bir bileşenidir. Aynı şekilde ihracat, ekonomik büyüme için önemli bir dinamik oluşturmaktadır. Dış ticaret bağlamında, Orta doğu ve Kuzey Afrika (MENA) ülkeleri de küresel ekonominin önemli bir bileşenini oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla çalışmada MENA ekonomilerinde ihracat katma değerinin ve sektörel ihracat katma değerinin ekonomiye katkısı analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca bu ekonomilerde sektörel üretim faaliyetlerinde ithal ara girdi bağımlılığı incelenmiştir. Çalışmada OECD veri tabanında yer alan girdi-çıktı tablolarından yararlanarak girdi-çıktı modelleri kullanılmıştır. Girdi-Çıktı analizleri sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre ihracat katma değerinin ekonomiye katkısı %25-50 arasında değişkenlik göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda ihracat katma değerinin ekonomiye katkısı Suudi Arabistan’da %50, Tunus’ta %30, İsrail ve Fas’ta ise %24 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sektörel ihracat katma değerinin ekonomiye katkısı ise farklılık göstermektedir. MENA ülkelerine yönelik ithal ara girdi bağımlılığı için yapılan analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, bu ülkelerde ithal ara girdi bağımlılığı en yüksek olan sektörlerin genel olarak imalat sanayi alt sektörleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
