It seems that the Turks are very interested in investing in Macedonia, is there any reason why they keep investing and starting businesses?

XRVOL · 10-28-2010, 10:05 PM

Shishedzam and the cement plant have said they'll be investing for a few years now. Hopefully now they are serious.

Prolet · 10-28-2010, 10:59 PM

XRVOL, They are saying that trade with Turkey should increase from 200 million to 1 billion euros over the next 2 years. The investments didnt go ahead for obvious reasons, now things are picking up again.

I know the owner of Shishedzam is a Turk from Macedonia, ever since the staklara closed down we've had to import all glass materials, its very important that they build the factory there.

XRVOL · 10-29-2010, 12:54 AM

Prolet, have you seen Alexander the Great airport lately? The Turks are on a roll there and the government thinks they will be finished before the planned October 2011.

Macedonia's trade gap is largely due to the importation of three things. They are: electricity, motor vehicles and oil.

Macedonia should focus on the reduction of these imports or to increase manufacturing to boost exports.

I see the construction of Cebren/Galishte hydro-plants and the wind farms, the gasification of Macedonia, and the public transport upgrades such as the new double-decker buses for JSP and the proposed tram network in Skopje to be crucial for the reduction of the above imports.

Thats great for Macedonia. Just one factory means there will be 100s of people who would work there. So, new business opportunities, less imports and lower unemployment rates for Macedonia.

Prolet · 10-29-2010, 06:08 AM

Well Said Onur, its important for the Turkish Companies to come and invest in Macedonia. Its good for both countries to increase trade relations, lets hope we can reach the 1 billion euro mark.

XRVOL, If you recall TAV had a 6 month delay due to the Global Financial Crisis, the reason why they are working so intensively is because thats when they have to complete both projects. If they dont complete it on time without a good reason they have to pay heavy fines and could loose their license all together. Once the officially sign off with these companies they will be given time frames just like TAV.

It will take time but the days of using of the fk Greece using an economic embargo to cripple the Macedonian economy, and use it as a tool to blackmail and bully the Macedonians, will soon be over.

This is just a drop in the ocean in terms of what Turkey is intending to invest in the Macedonian Republic.

I've said it before, if we could get rid of a hundred thousand Albanians (legally), and replace them with Turks we would be much better off than we are right now.
