This publication will explore the rapidly evolving investment landscape of the Turkic States, aligning with the Organization of Turkic States’s (OTS) Vision 2040 and the 2022-2026 Strategy. As part of the Samarkand Declaration and OTS’s broader efforts to increase intra-regional trade turnover, this book will analyze how the Turkic States are positioning themselves as key investment destinations in the global economy. By focusing on economic cooperation, simplifying customs, and enhancing transport connectivity, the OTS is fostering an environment that encourages investment and strengthens the economic ties between member states.
The publication aims to examine why these states are increasingly becoming attractive to global investors, emphasizing the role of strategic infrastructure development, Free Economic Zones, and cross-border partnerships. It will highlight the investment climate, emerging opportunities in key sectors including but not limited to energy, transportation, green technologies, and digital transformation, as well as the expanding cooperation between member states to create a more integrated, competitive, and innovation-driven region.
The book will serve as a forward-looking platform for thought leaders, policymakers, researchers, and economic experts to present insights and recommendations on how to further leverage investment opportunities within the Turkic region. It will also address the strategic importance of creating synergies in trade, transport, and sustainable development to unlock new channels for economic growth and regional cooperation.
The Vision 2040 and OTS 2022-2026 Strategy emphasize critical initiatives such as simplified customs corridors, transport cooperation, and trade strategy agreements. This book will analyze how these efforts are transforming the Turkic States into a competitive region for foreign direct investment (FDI) and how these nations are driving sustainable economic growth.
