Turkey has a wide range of opportunities on offer for the foreign investor. Some other reasons for investing in Turkey include the following:

•  The World Trade Organisation considers Turkey to be one of the most dynamic countries.
•  It has a very liberal investment climate, including free (international) movement of capital, profits, dividends and salaries, free-trade zones and subsidies.
•  Agreements between Turkey and 39 other countries to promote and protect mutual investments as well as an agreement to preclude double taxation.
•  Since 1996 there has been a customs union with the European Union and since 1999 Turkey has been a candidate member of the European Union.

Although the first law regarding foreign investments dates back to 1954, Turkey was a relatively closed market to foreign companies until 1980. Previously, for instance, a Turkish citizen was not allowed to smoke American cigarettes and therefore the import and export was at a very low level.

Like many other countries, Turkey found itself in an acute economic crisis in 1979. Pressurised by the IMF, a policy of far-reaching liberalisation was chosen, especially focused on attracting foreign investors and promoting export. One of the main policy decisions regards the approval of a liberal and flexible foreign investment policy. The Foreign Investments Act was adjusted and the investment climate was made more attractive and better tailored to potential investors.

These opportunities and the liberalisation developments have not escaped foreign investors’ attention.
