Chinese investments exceed $15bn

THE LAUNCH of the Silk Railroad across the Beijing-London line, expected to change the route of global trade, has steered Chinese investors toward Turkey, pushing total Chinese investment in the country to more than $14 billion.

Chinese investor interest in Turkey has increased significantly in the last few years, according to Dr. Selman Ozgun, Chairman of Helmann Construction and Member of the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEIK) Foreign Investment Work Council. Ozgun believes the railway Project on the Silk Road route will revolutionize global trade. “Chinese investment in Turkey has increased 120 percent in the last five years, and the number of China-based companies exceeded 1,000. These investments will surely double.”
