Financial crisis effects in Turkey

17 January 2010

Financial crisis has taken all over the world. Every country is facing sort of financial crisis and the most powerful economies like America, China and Russia and India are facing the world wide financial crisis and if we particularly talk about Europe and middle East countries, we will see that Turkey is facing crucial financial situation due to increase in inflation and de value of local currency as compare to other currencies. These crises are still to go for some more seven or eight months reported by Turkey ministry but the situation is still hard to control within sometime. But what is more concerning about Turkish economy is it is not globalizing economy as other European countries are. Somehow it is beneficial but more than that it is totally a disadvantage because international markets are always changing and with in sometime, the IMF and World Bank try to cover-up the problems by providing financial solutions but Turkey is not part of world social economy so it remains in crisis.
If we see the positive aspects regarding Turkish economy we see that the higher executives of economy and finance are capable to save Turkey from high effects of world’s financial crisis. The trained bank system, balance of payments, market system and infrastructure of business are designed in way that they can wok on their own despite depending on the world bank and IMF policies that are difficult and sometimes impossible to mange for developing countries and that is the reason that still Turkey’s economy is going good on the contrary to the world.
Turkey has set the rules and regulations for the foreign exchange currencies and markets in a way that they do not de value the local currency. And if some countries plan the foreign exchange rates with its local currency than chances are very rare to face crisis and this is what Turkey is managing for its money to remain stable for long.
Another factor that can affect any countries economy is the political condition and Turkey has to face the instable political issues because it lies between Europe and Middle East and religion crisis are always a problem for Turkey but still they had a good repute unlike other countries that had spoiled the economy due to religious crisis.
So we can say that Turkey is one of the strongest countries who are facing the financial crisis with determination and planning.

Turkey Property

07 December 2009

The real estate property has become a booming business in Turkey. The people buy and sell property in the season of tourists. In holidays people hire houses on rent to spend time with families. The investors spend on real estate just to earn rent and hotel charges. Not only houses and building are constructed for business rather it is done for housing purposes. Foreign investment in Turkey is also aimed at the construction of hotels and malls for earning profits. Household buildings are constructed for sale and are also a big business.
Because of Turkey’s participation in European Union, the demand for real estate has increased. The tourism is second factor contributing to increase worth of property in Turkey. Currently the trend of selling private properties to foreigners has given rise to the foreign ownership of Turkish property. Unlimited foreign ownership was banned in the country few years back, but now the law has changed which has reduced local individual property ownership. Most of the foreigners who have invested in Turkish property are British, Greeks and Germans.
Another implication of Turkish property is that a lot of and most of the property is owned by the government. An insignificant total of property was held with individuals who have now sold that to the foreign investors. The name of vakif foundation is worth mentioning here as it is the most important state organization which is controlling and managing the state property since many years. It is also an autonomous body that is contributing to Turkish economy as it is also responsible for running the bank named Vakif bank in the country.
The land owned by the government of Turkey is mostly the rural land that is reserved for agriculture production. The rural land has never been sold to any private firm or investor. This is what which makes Turkey distinctive from other European states which believe in private property. For not considering Turkey as a European Union member, this was also a major reason held previously.
The laws were amended regarding property rights in Turkey to allow and attract foreign investment in the country. Due to lower cost of life in Turkey people of other European countries are buying residential property in Turkey. Climate of the country is also a reason for foreign investment. Tourists spending on the stay in Turkey are a source of encouragement for the foreign as well as the local investors in this regard.
