AFP has recently reported that European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) governors will decide Turkey's inclusion in the bank's line-up of investment countries in October. Turkey's official application was accepted "in principle," yet the ultimate approval process will take place 3 months later. The possibility of including Turkey in EBRDs line-up of investment countries would mark a most significant change.

The Bank, within the outline of strategy for priority to Turkey, will invite overseas investors to invest in banking, Real estate, tourism etc. Turkey is expected to attract high level of private sector investment in the future. David McCormick, U.S. Treasury under-secretary for international affairs, told on Sunday in a meeting of EBRD that Turkey's application would be reviewed thoroughly in the coming months.

Recently Turkey was recommended by ShelterOffshore.com, which said it offers far more affordable property values than the UK. EBRD announced that it is expected to give top priority to investments in Turkey and is likely to declare Turkey as the main target of its enlargement strategy. Overseas property investors could be in line to benefit from the news about Turkey’s possible inclusion in EBRD.

Property experts say Turkey could be a very interesting market to watch over the next few years and are advised to pay close attention to Turkey.
