Investment Incentives

Investment incentives in Turkey can mainly be categorised under two headings: investment incentives provided by the Turkish State and incentives for priority and least developed regions.

The principal purpose of state aid is to eliminate inter-regional imbalances, to facilitate a larger capital contribution by the general public to a country’s capital structure and to support activities that have a positive effect on employment. Such investments encourage activities that attract foreign currency and yield advanced and suitable technology, as well as those which help achieve international competitiveness, all within international state aid restrictions.
