Turkey enjoys strong historical, cultural and economic ties with countries in the neighbouring regions of Southern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Middle East. Through the Customs Union with the EU, Turkey has direct access to the EU market of 987 million consumers. In addition, the country is a hub for MNCs to manufacture, export and manage with proximity to Europe, MENA (Middle East and North Africa) and Central Asia at 4 hour flight distance. Singapore companies can tap these linkages to expand into nearby countries, either by using Turkey as a hub or by partnering with Turkish companies.
