TURKISH INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR

Turkish infrastructure sector
The Turkish infrastructure sector attracts more and more investors every day, focusing on long-term business opportunities. 

The investment figures announced by the Turkish government regarding the Southeastern Anatolia Region for the time period between 2008 and 2012, expected to exceed USD 25 billion, indicate the sector's enormous growth potential. 

The ongoing privatization process has invigorated the infrastructure industry, particularly in the construction and transportation sectors. Consequently, the industry value reached USD 45 billion in 2008. Since 1980's, Turkish contractors have become more globalized and some key players from Turkey have made a stunning debut on the international arena. Large-scale infrastructure projects, such as dams, hydroelectric power plants and pipelines are realized mainly by capable representatives of the industry. Their business volume abroad has reached approximately USD 130 billion. Transforming the advantage of common cultural, historical and ethnical background into fruitful business ties, most of these success stories have taken place in the Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European countries. 

Since the beginning of 1970's, Turkish companies have completed almost 5,000 infrastructure projects in 70 countries. 
Turkey has developed one of the largest land transportation fleets in Europe, with close to 1,500 companies engaged in international transportation.
