The economic and trade relations between Turkey and Qatar have witnessed a great development in recent years and increased after the blockade imposed on Doha in June 2017, and Turkey has become one of the most polarizing countries for Qatari capital in many sectors, the most important of which are tourism and real estate.
According to the Qatari press, the trade exchange between Qatar and Turkey increased by 49% in 2018, and amounted to more than seven billion Qatari riyals ($1.9 billion), which indicates the strength of relations between the State of Qatar and Turkey and the increase in mutual investments and joint commercial and industrial opportunities.
After Qatari businessmen in Turkey found the appropriate environment and the great facilities provided by the government, which they enjoy, they developed their investments in Turkey, which contributed to increasing economic activity between the two countries and achieved important investment successes.
According to what economists said, Turkey was able to be affected by Qatari investments, especially real estate, due to its many advantages related to political stability and security, in addition to its picturesque nature and moderate climate.
A strategic partnership agreement was signed between Qatar's Tanmiyat Holding Company and Sarvas International Real Estate Investment Company in Turkey, and this partnership is the beginning of the project to establish the largest cultural, tourist and entertainment city in the world, which will be located in a privileged location in one of the coastal cities in Turkey.
The projected total area of the project is estimated at about six million square meters, so that this project can attract thirty million tourists annually, and the project will be the largest of its kind for investment.
The project will also invest $1.2 billion in power stations operating on natural gas in the northwestern Turkish province of Kırıkkale and the central Karaman region. It is expected that the project will soon be supplied with Qatari natural gas to secure energy supplies.
As for agricultural land investments, Qatar is expanding its investments in the field of food, as Hassad Food Company, which operates in the agricultural and livestock sectors in Qatar, will invest in the agriculture and livestock sector in Turkey with an amount of $650 million.
In addition, Qatar will be one of the most prominent investors in the Canal Istanbul project, and the most important turning point in the Qatari-Turkish partnership is the agreement between the two countries on joint investment in the defense industries sector, which will allow specialized Qatari military teams to participate directly in the defense industries sector inside Turkey.
The Qatari-Turkish partnership will also work on localizing technology industries in Qatar, by establishing joint industrial zones in Qatar, and transforming them into an exporting country for many products to regional and global markets.
