Turkish/German Business Group

As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Turkey offers a dynamic business environment and a wide range of investment opportunities. Especially the close trade relationship between Germany and Turkey significantly influences this emerging market.

Strong business relations

Germany is by far the most important trade partner of Turkey. In 2011, nearly ten percent of Turkish goods were exported to Germany, followed by Great Britain, Iraq, Italy and France. With respect to imports, Germany ranked second after Russia with a share of almost ten percent of imported goods.

Likewise, Turkey became an important business location for German investors. Due to its geographic location between Europe and Asia, Turkey offers excellent export opportunities. Since 2011 a new double taxation convention between Germany and Turkey further alleviates investing in Turkey. This new convention reduces barriers in cross-border trade and further strengthens the German-Turkish business relations.
