Financing Pressure in the Real Sector and Regional Investment Shift
Home and Kitchenware Federation President Güçlü Kaplangı announced that manufacturing investments are shifting toward the East and Southeast due to high financing costs and liquidity crunches.
High financing costs and liquidity crunches in the real sector have triggered a regional shift in manufacturing investments, turning the focus toward provinces in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia.
Pressure of Financing Costs
The liquidity crunch and high financing costs that have become pronounced in the real sector over the last three months are creating severe pressure on companies.
Investment Trend Toward the East and Southeast
While a regional shift in production investments is on the agenda, Elazığ, Bingöl, and Batman have begun to stand out in terms of new manufacturing investments.
New Transportation and Trade Routes
New transportation and trade routes such as the Zangezur Corridor and the Hejaz Corridor are expected to boost the region's export potential in the medium and long term.
Market Challenges and Expectation of Support
It was stated that access to finance has become difficult in the domestic market and that discounts amount to sales at a loss due to high costs, while preparations for a new support package for SMEs were announced.
