Türkiye's developing economy offers lucrative investment opportunities in infrastructure across a wide variety of sectors including transportation, healthcare, and energy. Between 1986 and 2024, contracts were signed for 272 Public-Private Sector Partnership (PPP) projects with a total contract value of 215 billion USD. The fact that more than half of these projects have reached financial closure in the last 10 years illustrtaes Türkiye's increasing experience in this field in the best way.
Türkiye has solid rationales for investment in infrastructure:
-
The Turkish economy exhibited a robust annual GDP growth rate of 5.3% during 2003-2023.
-
Türkiye’s 85.7 million strong population is growing by an additional 1 million every year; this is coupled with a rapid urbanization process that has resulted in more than 24 urban centers with populations over 1 million, and of which 10 of those 24 have populations of over 2 million.
-
Türkiye’s growing international trade volume and strategic location compel the country to develop its infrastructure.
-
As a bridge between the East and the West, Türkiye leads the Middle Corridor at the heart of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
-
Hosting more than 1 million foreign patients a year, Türkiye has significantly improved the quality of its healthcare services and will continue to invest in healthcare infrastructure to catch up with OECD requirements.
-
From transportation to healthcare and to energy, ample opportunities from mega to micro projects are available in the pipeline.
-
Türkiye has favorable investment legislation for PPP investments that may be realized through various models, such as build-operate, build-operate-transfer, build-lease-transfer, transfer of operational rights, etc.
-
Türkiye’s government provides various forms of support and incentives to accelerate the project development.
-
Türkiye’s investment climate is further strengthened by domestic and international laws that protect investments and provide international arbitration.
- Türkiye's macroeconomic policies, investments, and more importantly, strong public finance management, support PPP investments that require demand guarantees.
