The UAE and Türkiye continue to strengthen their economic partnership, with UAE investments in Türkiye now exceeding $6 billion. Meanwhile, Turkish investments in the UAE have surpassed $3 billion. This growing financial exchange highlights the deepening ties between the two nations.
Türkiye: Bilateral Trade Growth Driven by CEPA
Burak Dağlıoğlu, President of the Investment Office of the Presidency of Türkiye, stated that investment flows between the two countries are expected to rise further. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has played a key role in accelerating trade and investment exchanges.
He emphasized that Turkish companies are eager to expand their global footprint by leveraging the UAE’s strategic position as a trade hub. The UAE provides access to Asian and African markets, making it an attractive destination for Turkish investors.
Expanding Economic Opportunities
Türkiye also presents lucrative investment opportunities for UAE businesses. With an extensive trade network—including the EU Customs Union and 30 free trade agreements—Türkiye offers access to a market of over one billion consumers.
Dağlıoğlu highlighted Türkiye’s significant infrastructure investments, which have made it one of the most connected countries in the region. Istanbul alone provides access to 1.3 billion people, with a GDP nearing $1.2 trillion.
He stressed the importance of strengthening investment dialogue between the two nations. Looking ahead, cooperation holds great potential for mutual economic growth.
