Alpaslan Korkmaz, President of the Investment Support and Promotion Agency of Türkiye, said they outperformed many countries despite the Agency’s brief two and a half year history, and added, “ISPAT ranked the 15th and the 11th most successful investment intermediary in the world and Europe respectively, according to the Global Investment Promotion Benchmarking 2009 report. Meanwhile, in regard to ‘investor handling criteria’, we ranked 5th in the world and 2nd in Europe.”
