This process wasfollowed by foreign borrowing and railway privilege that was especiallystarted in 1850. However at that time, as the country's domesticproducers had difficulties because of European goods, there emergedthe thought of using domestic goods and this idea started to be put intowords often. This discourse increased when Party of Union and Progress(İttihat ve Terakki), which attempted to ensure Turkish-Muslimdominance in domestic and foreign trade, separated from liberalismafter the 2nd Constitutionalist Period and actualized the nationaleconomic policy and it was continued through some rulings in the firstyears of Republic. But during the difficult process started with the 1929world economic crisis, a more serious approach towards theunderstanding of domestic goods and economy became compulsory.Firstly, National Economy and Saving Association was established andit was decided that each year, seven days between 12th and 19th ofDecember should be celebrated as "Domestic Goods and EconomyWeek". These celebrations included many activities in variousinstitutions such as schools, community centers, mosques -by tellingthe idea in sermons- and shops that sell domestic goods -by reflectingthe idea in store windows. The aim of this process was to give domesticgoods its deserved prestige in the eye of the public and financiallysupport country economics.
