Inflation in Turkey: An Unparalleled Investment Opportunity

Inflation in Turkey: An Unparalleled Investment Opportunity

Seek opportunities amidst chaos.

The title may capture attention in an unusual manner, yet it is well-known that periods of economic challenges can be sources of wealth creation, with every crisis hiding a golden opportunity.

This article delves into key aspects of Turkey's economic situation, which demands a deeper analysis:

Firstly, significant inflation in Turkey:

The Turkish economy is experiencing a notable increase in the prices of goods and assets, including real estate, leading to a substantial annual rise in their value.

Secondly, the depreciation of the Turkish Lira:

Holders of the Turkish Lira are losing a portion of their wealth and purchasing power with each passing day, as a result of the local currency's depreciation.

Thirdly, the very high interest rates:

At the time of writing, the interest rate set by the Central Bank of Turkey has reached 45%, and it may exceed 60% when obtaining bank loans, negatively impacting buying and selling activities.

Fourthly, pegging prices to the dollar:

Particularly in the real estate sector, construction companies tend to peg sale installments to the dollar to protect the value of their sales from currency fluctuations.

From the above analysis, it is clear that inflation and high interest rates are putting significant pressure on the Turkish economy. However, the inherent strength of the Turkish economy, which will help overcome the current crisis, is highlighted by its diverse industrial sectors, tourism, and oil discoveries.

Given the current opportunity, investing in real estate, especially through instalment plans in Turkish Lira, presents an excellent investment option. Despite the scarcity of instalment offers in Lira, some construction companies provide these options, offering the possibility to pay between 35% to 50% of the property value upfront and instalment the rest interest-free in Turkish Lira.

Fourthly, pegging prices to the dollar:

The benefits of seizing this opportunity include:

  • The value of the property increases with rising inflation.
  • The total value of the property purchase decreases for you as a buyer with the depreciation of the Turkish Lira, and the decrease in the value of the installments.
  • Benefit from the improved economic situation upon completing the installments, which increases the market value of the property and yields significant profits.

Investors should look beyond the current challenges, leveraging the valuable investment opportunities presented by the tough economic conditions, especially in the Turkish real estate market. These opportunities require strategic vision and the courage to move against the general trend to achieve significant long-term profits.
