Opportunities for private sector investment are set to balloon in Turkey's Southeast Anatolia region due to a recently announced 5-year TRY26.8bn government investment plan. The infrastructure, construction and agriculture sectors in particular are expected to boom as a result, helping to narrow the relative wealth gap between the region and the more affluent western parts of the country.
