Tuzmen: ”Turkey will be a safe harbor for foreign capital at a time of global crisis”

Commenting on the impacts of the recent global economic crisis that had originated in the US and spread to the world markets, State Minister for Foreign Trade Kursad Tuzmen yesterday said, "If it maintains economic stability, Turkey will be a safe haven for foreign capital at a time of the US-originated global economic crisis." Stressing that a cloud of foreign capital is wandering all around the world at the moment to find safe and reliable places, Tuzmen said, "Turkey is currently one of the safest havens for foreign capital. As long as we preserve our economic stability, we can draw more foreign capital and use this capital inflow to boost Turkey's exports and production." Pointing to the importance of human resources and brain power, the state minister added, "These powers are of great importance in our time. With these powers, we can considerably improve Turkey's exports."
