Global investors’ interest in the country may boom due to a possible increase in the country’s investment rate after the general elections on June 12, according to Nurdan Toğuş, the chief economist at Ata Invest.
Some major actors are eying investment opportunities in Turkish companies, which promise strong growth, Toğuş said at the Investment Conference organized by her company Monday.
The conference hosted some 30 large foreign investors, which had bilateral talks with Turkish companies.
“We expect Turkey’s rate to be increased to the investment level,” she told the Hürriyet Daily News on the sidelines of the conference. “Foreign investors here would like to know plans of Turkish companies for the next year.”
“These 30 companies from 20 countries manage more than $1 trillion in total,” said Korhan Kurdoğlu vice chairman of Ata Invest indicating that Turkey is already on the way to become a regional finance center.
