The Rise of New Turkey

Global community meets a new Turkey. The new Turkey is a country rising in many ways: Turkish economy is the 17th largest in the world, the 6th in Europe. It was transformed in the 1980s from a state-led to a market-oriented economy. Over the last decade, Turkey changed from a low income to a middle incomecountry among countries with predominantly Muslim population.

Turkey has been rapidly integrating into the global economy and has become an attractive destination for business. Turkey now has the largest free-market economy and the greatest industrial power-base in the geographical area lying between Italy and China. Turkey achieved this leap with its dynamic and effective private sector that has been highly active in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and Central Asia.

Turkey is perceived to be a leader and an economic model in these regions and an engine of growth in the newly emerging polycentric global system. Turkey, with its democratic credentials, economic model, and strong private sector, is a source of peace and stability in a highly volatile geography.Previously considered as a flank country, Turkey now stands as a central figure in a strategically located zone drawing the attention of the world. Through its global outreach, Turkey is one of the centers of attraction in the emerging global power system.

DEIK; THE GLOBAL BRAND OF NEW TURKEY

The Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEIK) has assumed a leading role in the transformation of Turkish economy and its integration to the global market place. DEIK assisted Turkish firms to do business in the global arena and guided foreign companies to do business in Turkey.Since its establishment in 1986, considerable progress has been made in increasing the level of bilateral trade, enhancing presence of Turkish companies abroad, and multiplying the number of foreign investments in Turkey. DEIK, with its professional staff; wide national, regional and global network, its practical experience all around the world is a centre of reference and information for the global business community wanting to do business in Turkey.

DEIK operates through Bilateral Business Councils which are established by a cooperation agreement signed with foreign counterparts. As of December 2014, there are 199 business councils operating under DEIK.

DEIK’s legal identity and its organizational structure have been re-designed by a new law passed by Turkish Grand National Assembly in September 2014. Newly designed DEIK will continue to work, support and lead the global economic integration of Turkish companies through trade and investment relations. In this new structure, DEIK has a broader representation base and financial capability. Following the revision of its status, DEIK changed into a full-fledged umbrella organization representing the Turkish private sector in the area of foreign economic relations with a stronger public sector backing and endorsement of the President and Prime Minister of Turkey. These features give DEIK a much better operational capacity.

New DEIK will restructure its business councils, aiming to achieve a broader understanding of the foreign economic relations that are not limited to foreign trade. Priority of new DEIK will be the sophistication of the foreign economic relations through trade, investment, movement of capital and people. DEIK will concentrate on export of services and we will establish new business councils and launch new business development projects in this direction. DEIK will also promote Turkey as a transcontinental business destination for multinational companies.
