INFRASTRUCTURE

Türkiye has solid rationales for investment in infrastructure:

• The Turkish economy exhibited a robust annual GDP growth rate of 5.4 percent during 2003-2023.
• Türkiye’s 85.4 million strong population is growing by an additional 1 million every year; this is coupled with a rapid urbanization process that has resulted in more than 24 urban centers with populations over 1 million, and of which 10 of those 24 have populations of over 2 million.
• Türkiye’s growing international trade volume and strategic location compel the country to develop its infrastructure.
• As a bridge between the East and the West, Türkiye leads the Middle Corridor at the heart of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
• Hosting more than 1 million foreign patients a year, Türkiye has significantly improved the quality of its healthcare services and will continue to invest in healthcare infrastructure to catch up with the OECD.
• From transportation to healthcare and to energy, ample opportunities from mega to micro-projects are available in the pipeline.
• Türkiye has favorable investment legislation for PPP investments that may be realized through various models, such as build-operate, build-operate-transfer, transfer of operational rights, etc.
• Türkiye’s government provides various forms of support and incentives to accelerate the project development.
• Türkiye’s investment climate is further strengthened by domestic and international laws that protect investments and provide international arbitration.
• Türkiye’s macroeconomic policies, investments, and more importantly, strong public finance management, support PPP investments that require guaranteed purchase.
