New BRIC, new bridges

With a solid banking sector, an outward-looking and business-friendly legislature, and boasting one of the most competitive FDI incentive systems in the world, Turkey - Europe's fastest growing economy - is drawing considerable interest from the international investment community.

While Eurozone governments abandon investment programmes as they struggle to emerge from recession, Turkey's strong economic recovery has put a massive privatisation programme back on track. Big ticket items that include the national lottery, hydroelectric plants, highways, motorways and bridges are due to go under the hammer in the next two years.

With such a dynamic period of economic activity on the cards, what is driving Turkey's key growth trajectories? What is the outlook for the country's economic and finance sectors - particularly against the backdrop of the Eurozone's deepening woes? And what must the international and Turkish business communities do to make the most of new opportunities (in infrastructure, energy and finance) and further strengthen existing ties?

At the FT Turkey international 1-day summit, new and veteran investors in Turkey, together with senior government officials, will share their insights on the increasingly significant role of Turkey on the global stage, and the positive shifts in the political and business landscape that are drawing international investors to its shores.

The Summit will be chaired by David Gardner, Associate Editor and International Affairs Editor, Financial Times, and will feature keynote addresses from Ali Babacan, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic and Financial Affairs, and Mehmet Şimşek, Finance Minister of the Republic of Turkey.
