Burak Dağlıoğlu, Türkiye Wealth Fund CEO Arda Ermut, Türkiye Bankalar Birliği Chairman Alpaslan Çakar, and Halkbank General Manager Osman Arslan for an in-depth discussion on Türkiye’s financial transformation and long-term economic vision at the Istanbul Financial Center.
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz outlined Türkiye’s macroeconomic trajectory, noting growth at twice the global average over the past five years. Vice President Yılmaz highlighted the coordinated monetary-fiscal program aimed at restoring price stability, improving financial efficiency, and strengthening the investment climate, adding that supportive financial conditions, rising exports, and increasing foreign investment will continue to drive sustainable growth.
President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu delivered a concise, data-driven outlook on Türkiye’s investment agenda, noting an average annual growth rate of 5.3% since 2003 and investment levels consistently exceeding 30% of GDP. He emphasized Türkiye’s FDI share rising from 0.2% to 1%—a fivefold increase—with a new 1.5% target, and underlined the country’s evolution from a Europe-Asia bridge into a regional hub for management, production and innovation. He added that digitalization, AI, sustainability, protective trade dynamics, and shifting global value chains will shape the next phase.
As Türkiye advances its vision for the Türkiye Century, the country continues to strengthen its competitive, innovation-led, and globally connected economic model—positioning itself as the nexus of investment and finance in a rapidly evolving regional and international landscape.
