A safe bet in the eyes of the international community?
For more than half a century, Turkey has repeatedly engaged in bilateral agreements between several countries. Additionally, the proclamation of the 2003 law about the encouragement of foreign investments accentuated this opening.
The country has signed bilateral agreements with over 94 countries, 75 of which have been ratified. In addition, a free trade agreement was signed with the European Union in 1996 and with more than 37 other countries thereafter.
In terms of banking, the country has more than 53 Turkish banks that represent over 70% of the finance industry, a third of which hold foreign capital going up to 30%.

Among the main industries promoting economic growth and protecting the country from a financial crisis, the agricultural and manufacturing sectors industries take by far the lion’s(ça se dit pas mais c’est très créatif) largest share.
As the seventh largest agricultural producer in the world, thanks in part to its important role in the production of dried figs, hazelnuts, seedless raisins, dried apricots and milk production, agriculture in Anatolia accounts for 8% of its total GDP.
The aquaculture market is also growing rapidly in this country, that holds 7.2% of the world market, increasing by 8% every year. As for citrus fruits, Turkey produced nearly 4 million tones in 2015.
Despite the three million agricultural businesses, mostly family-run and small, the rise in demand for agricultural products continues to increase and calls for new investments in this area.
This agricultural strength comes in part from the mild climatic conditions, but what sets Turkey apart from its neighboring countries is the incentives taken by its government.
