As part of its roadshow in China marking its 20th anniversary, the Investment and Finance Office held two roundtable meetings, convening Chinese investors and industry representatives from a broad range of sectors to present Türkiye's investment landscape and explore opportunities for deeper bilateral economic cooperation.
The first roundtable, co-hosted with the Silk Road Fund, an investment institution operating under China's Belt and Road Initiative, brought together more than 20 companies from the energy, ICT, mobility, construction, and food sectors. Addressing participants, Investment and Finance Office President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu underscored that Türkiye has evolved into a regional powerhouse through two decades of structural reforms implemented under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Dağlıoğlu highlighted new incentive mechanisms designed to further enhance Türkiye's investment attractiveness, noting that companies relocating their headquarters to Türkiye and managing global trade operations from the country will benefit from a full corporate tax exemption on cross-border commercial transactions.
The second roundtable, co-hosted with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME), attracted nearly 20 companies from the machinery, electronics, ICT, energy, and construction sectors. During the meeting, Dağlıoğlu introduced the “Powerhouse for Investment in the Türkiye Century" program announced by President Erdoğan, reiterating the government's commitment to preserving and strengthening Türkiye's competitiveness in agricultural and industrial production. In this regard, he noted that the corporate tax rate applicable to all manufacturing companies will be reduced from 25 percent to 12.5 percent, enabling producers operating in Türkiye to benefit from a 50 percent reduction in their corporate tax liability.
Across both engagements, Dağlıoğlu reaffirmed Türkiye's ambition to evolve from a regional economic hub into a global economic powerhouse, extending an open invitation to Chinese companies to explore and capitalize on the country's expanding investment opportunities.
Guided by the vision of the Türkiye Century, the Investment and Finance Office remains committed to advancing strategic partnerships with Chinese investors and industry leaders as Türkiye strengthens its position as the nexus of investment, manufacturing, and trade.
