Chinese Energy Investments in Turkey and Potential Investment Barriers

Abstract

Turkey, as an emerging economy, is trying to increase the inflow of foreign direct investment in various sectors, including energy and there is room for improving cooperation between Turkey and China in this area. This study aims to demonstrate the role of Chinese energy investments in Turkey by examining projects between 2005 and 2020. The study also aims to reveal barriers in solar, nuclear and coal sub-sectors for Chinese investors. According to the results, China has invested 2.8 billion dollars in Turkey’s energy sector, there are many barriers for Chinese investors and removing them can enable the two countries to cooperate on a more solid ground.
