Turkey lures Hungarian businessmen
Friday, December 4, 2009
Turkish minister called on Hungarian businessmen and investors to establish partnerships with their Turkish counterparts in order to reach out to the world markets.
Nihat Ergun, Turkey's Industry and Trade Minister invited Hungarian businessmen and entrepreneurs to invest in Turkey. Speaking at the opening of the Turkey-Hungarian Business Council, he said Turkey is a country of opportunities with a competitive market and a liberal business and investment environment.
He also said that Turkey offers alluring opportunities for the businessmen in the region to access markets over a wide area, including Europe, the Middle East, Black Sea, Central Asia and the Gulf region. In reassuring news for overseas investors, he said that Turkey has strengthened its economy thanks to its solid monetary policies and the recent structural reforms. The country has removed all obstacles to investment, improved the business environment and made legal improvements to attract direct foreign investments.
The trade volume between the two countries in 2008 stood at EUR 1.334 billion. "Despite the recession caused by the global economic crisis, it is pleasing that the trade volume between Turkey and Hungary reached EUR 951 million in the first three quarters of 2009", he noted.
Meanwhile, Julian Walker, a spokesman for Spot Blue, a specialist in Turkish property, said: "Turkey is currently one of the best destinations for those looking to invest in overseas property. The country is also one of the few logical choices for those seeking to balance lifestyle and financial advantage in their retirement."
According to recent figures, more than 20,000 homes in the country are currently owned by investors from the UK. It has been reported that the weakening pound could lead to a slew of Britons looking to buy property outside of the eurozone, with Turkey being one of the obvious choices.
