Brief n. 54/February 2023 - Social perceptions towards Arab investments in Türkiye

20 Feb 2023

One of the reasons of the increase in the real estate sales to foreigners were the changes in the law which allowed real estate owners to obtain Turkish citizenship easily. [...] With the political and economic changes and the improved relations between Türkiye and the Gulf states in the 2000s, Gulf investments started to enter the country. [...] Particularly, in the wake of the economic hardship and high inflationary period, many Turkish people point fingers to refugees and the funds spent to them as a reason for the economic problems. [...] Turkish government, public, diaspora in different parts of the world, as well as local and foreign organizations are sending funds with the common desire of contributing to the faster healing of the wounds of the region. [...] Using the language of peace instead of blaming foreign forces for every problem will find a more meaningful response in the society and lead the public to form a better understanding of the changing global dynamics and help them to embrace foreign investments.
