Türkiye is navigating global uncertainties with confidence while implementing new legal, administrative, and fiscal measures to strengthen its investment environment, Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said on Monday.
Speaking at the Powerhouse for Investment at the Türkiye Century press conference in the capital, Ankara, Yilmaz said officials had gathered to brief the public on measures announced last Friday by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to enhance the country's competitiveness and investment environment.
Yilmaz noted that the global economy is experiencing heightened uncertainty, with geopolitical tensions intensifying across multiple regions.
The vice president pointed out that the risk of escalation between Iran and Israel -- alongside US involvement -- has added further strain to an already fragile environment, adding that these developments directly affect energy markets, trade routes, and global financial conditions.
Yilmaz emphasized that in such a fragmented landscape, resilience, predictability, and production capacity have become decisive factors shaping the direction of global investment.
He said Türkiye has navigated this environment with confidence and discipline, sharing that the government has undertaken necessary measures to mitigate the potential impact of regional developments on the economy and to ensure the orderly and sound functioning of the markets.
He expressed that the country continues to preserve macroeconomic stability while reinforcing its production base and maintaining a resilient growth trajectory.
"Türkiye stands out as a stable, predictable, and reliable partner for investment and industrial activity," Yilmaz said.
He highlighted that the country offers a competitive and well-established ecosystem for investors, supported by its strong industrial infrastructure, advanced logistics capabilities, and deep integration into global value chains.
Türkiye's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East provides a distinct advantage as global supply chains are reshaped, he added, noting that the country is increasingly emerging as a central hub for production, trade, and distribution.
"We are implementing new legal, administrative, fiscal, and institutional measures with the aim of enhancing our country’s competitiveness and strengthening the investment climate," said Yilmaz.
