Wednesday, 16 December 2009Dutch insurance company Eureko plans to shift its major investments to Turkey from several countries, Turkish foreign trade minister said on Wednesday.
"Eureko will bring its investments to Turkey in 2010," Zafer Caglayan told reporters during his visit to the Netherlands.
Eureko B.V., the largest insurance group in the Netherlands, is already active in Turkish market. The Dutch firm acquired, from Garanti Bank in Turkey, 80 percent of the shares of Eureko Sigorta, a life insurance company.
"I met with top executives of the firm. They told me that Eureko would totally leave those countries and shift investments to Turkey. The company wants to grow in Turkey," Caglayan said.
However, he did not elaborate on the matter.
In addition, Caglayan said he met with executives of BAM, another Dutch company operating in engineering and construction industries with 9 billion Euro annual turnover.
He said BAM was willing to operate in Turkish market and it was interested in construction of the third bridge on Istanbul Strait.
