The UAE’s investments in Turkiye, along with the contracts won by Turkish firms in the UAE, highlight the mutual opportunities available to both countries.

Turkiye is already the UAE’s fourth-largest non-oil trading partner, rising from seventh place in 2021. Last year, non-oil trade between the UAE and Turkiye grew by 11.5%, reaching $40.5bn.

With this momentum set to continue, MEED's latest issue takes an in-depth look at the growing trade relationship between the two countries

In our 10-page opening Agenda section, MEED editor Colin Foreman speaks exclusively to the president of the investment and finance office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkiye, Burak Daglioglu, about bilateral investment; and talks to Kalyon Holding CEO Mustafa Kocar about the construction firm’s new focus on the Middle East. 

There are also interviews with DenizBank CEO Recep Bastug, on the strengthening financial links, and with the vice-president of sales at Turkish Airlines, Erol Senol, on the airline’s plans for further growth. 

This month’s Levant market focus covers Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and finds all three countries working to recover from recent events beyond their control.

MEED's latest issue also includes a comprehensive GCC real estate report, covering all six markets in detail. While growth is continuing, the sector is showing signs of facing a more nuanced reality due to economic slowdown, regional tensions, oversupply risks and delivery constraints. Read more here.
