Turkey’s state-run property developer TOKİ should build and sell workplaces to businesses under a long-term payment plan, the Turkish Enterprise and Business Federation, or Türkonfed, has suggested.

TOKİ should implement a similar model that it uses to sell affordable houses to the citizens, Erdem Çenesiz, chair of Türkonfed said during a press meeting Monday to unveil his organization’s report on suggestions for the future of the Turkish economy.
“Businesses might buy workplaces as if they were renting them with low installments,” Çenesiz said.
Türkonfed’s “A New Era, New Goals” report includes broader suggestions on measures against the global crisis, relations with the European Union, growth and regional development.
Professor Seyfettin Gürsel of Istanbul’s Bahçeşehir University, a contributor to the report, said he projected a slowdown in investment in the country. “I expect a fall in growth the third quarter,” he said during the Türkonfed meeting.
A slowdown in consumption is accompanying the shrink in investments, he said. “The country cannot grow 5 percent every year. The government claims that Turkey will be among the biggest 10 economies across the world but this is impossible as we cannot grow by 7 or 8 percent to reach the developed economies.”
Turkey will grow 3.5 percent in the upcoming years, Çenesiz said. “We will keep growing next year but not as much as in 2011.” |
