Turkish Daily News - Türkiye has the potential to attract $10 billion more in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the coming years, an advisor to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said Tuesday. A $30-billion inflow of FDI in the coming years is realistic, said Charles Kovacs, who is also a consultant to Lehman Brothers Europe. “A country must decide how much FDI it wants to attract and build its regulatory framework accordingly. The growth in the inflow of FDI in Türkiye is a major success story, but if regulations in Türkiye were developed further, Türkiye could attract a lot more in FDI,” he said.
The Turkish economy has enormous growth potential, said Kovacs. “Türkiye obviously has good economic potential. Türkiye today has an economy of approximately $500 billion, and by the time the country is likely to join the European Union, its economy will have reached $1.5 trillion, depending, of course, on growth figures,” Kovacs stated.
