Mumbai: Lauding the Narendra Modi-led government for providing stability and predictability in policies, Turkey on Monday said it wants to be part of the 'Make in India' programme, which could help treble the currently low bilateral trade volume.

"I personally think the biggest incentive here now is stability and predictability. We have a strong feeling that chances of this country being successful is very high as it has all the conditions in place," Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said.

Admitting that trade volume between India and Turkey, members of G-20, is very low now, he said there is high potential to expand and deepen bilateral trades ties.

Turkish Finance Minister said by becoming part of the 'Make in India' campaign, both the countries can increase their trade volume apart from creating jobs.

"In 2014, bilateral trade stood at mere $7.5 billion. But I see it to quadruple in next decade," Simsek said.

The visiting Minister appreciated the government's flagship 'Make in India' programme and said Turkish companies are very excited to become part of the project, designed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub.

"Turkish companies cannot afford to miss the opportunities in India; they cannot afford to be left out in the 'Make in India' campaign. We want to be part of it," Simsek, here to promote Turkey as an investment destination, said.

Earlier in the day, he met industry captains, including Tata Sons Chairman Cyrus Mistry.

Turkey is among the focused countries for the Tata Group, especially for its steel and power arms, which will be supplying electricity to the Mediterranean nation from its under construction Georgia plant, the diversified Indian corporate said in a note.

Simsek will be meeting Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday in New Delhi.

He said Turkish companies can participate in areas of technology, energy, machine equipments, infrastructure, petrochemicals, food and processing, among others.

The Minister said by becoming part of the 'Make in India' campaign, both the countries can increase their trade volume apart from creating jobs.

He, however, said awareness about opportunities here among Turkish companies is very low. "In general, the core issue is that there is lack of awareness about opportunities here. The 'Make in India' programme needs to be promoted in Turkey, where not many people are familiar with it."

Seeks investments in energy, IT sectors from India

MUMBAI, FEBRUARY 23:


Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek is in India to enhance the annual volume of bilateral trade between India and Turkey, which currently stands at a mere $7.5 billion compared with the over 1.2 trillion dollars worth of total external trade done by both countries.

Although the current volume of bilateral trade is tilted heavily (90:10) in India’s favour, Simsek said, in an interview to BusinessLine, that he was not bothered about the tilt, but the overall low volume of trade and investment that needed to be lifted.

Terming India as a very important and desirable strategic partner, Simsek invited Indian investments in energy, especially renewable sources, as well as information technology sector.

Sharing expertise

Dropping into the commercial capital of Mumbai, a day ahead of his visit to New Delhi where he plans to meet Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Simsek had a round of meetings with some top industrialists to sell Turkey as a place to do business.

He also said that the two countries had a lot to learn from each other, adding that they could share their expertise in various fields.

He said that Turkey had a good manufacturing base and a supportive eco system that would help Indian companies that want to expand into the Central Asian and European neighbourhood.

Supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative, he said India could use the expertise of Turkey in infrastructure and construction industries where Turkish companies have significant global exposure. He said that since Turkey was a member of the customs union with European Union, a free trade agreement (FTA) that India may sign with EU will be like signing an agreement with Turkey. He added that Turkey had a well-diversified economy and would, along with India and China, be among the top beneficiaries of lower oil prices.

Current account
Turkey imported $56 billion worth of oil last year. He said that every $10 decline in oil prices would reduce Turkey’s current account deficit by 0.5% of its GDP.

Shipping industry/ tourism/ automotive industry is my bet.
Your main export to us so far has mostly been poppy seeds, auto components, marble and textile machinery related stuff.
