Local time:

Türkiye has continued to show growth in recent years through in particular infrastructural and industrial expansion, and in the energy, media, real estate, and services sectors. Overall, the country is regarded as a major market, and a relative safe haven from the rigors of the Eurozone and the difficulties of many emerging markets. There is an attractive legal regime for inward investment and a sizable major project deal pipeline.
