Turkish traders explore investment opportunities in Pakistani steel industry - SteelGuru

A Turkish Steel Industry Assessment Mission will visit Pakistan in early March this year to have first hand knowledge about the available business and investment opportunities.

Mr Kerim Dilber head of two member Turkish delegation at Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that the members of the Assessment Mission would hold meetings with steel industry people for initiating JV in Pakistan.

A second Turkish delegation also from the steel industry would also visit Pakistan as soon as the first delegation completed its findings. Turkey has become the 10th biggest producer globally and 2nd largest steel producer in Europe. Turkey was the third fastest growing steel producer in the world between the period 2001 and 2010 after China and India.

Steel production in Turkey has increased significantly since 2001 growing from 15 million tonnes in 2001 to 29.1 million tonnes in 2010. Within 5 years period between 2005 to 2010 per capita crude steel consumption in Turkey has increased to 340 kilogram and is expected to continue to grow in the medium and long term.

Mr Kashif Younis Meher senior VP of LCCI said that collaboration between the steel sectors of the two countries could create a win win situation on three counts.

Key Highlights:

The Pakistani defense industry, which valued US$5.8 billion in 2011, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% over the forecast period, to value US$9.9 billion by 2016. Indeed, the increased internal instability of the country following the onset of its participation in the international military campaign against terrorism, which is widely referred to as the war on terror', will continue to drive Pakistani defense expenditure over the next five years. Moreover, the nation's long-standing territorial dispute with neighboring India means that the Pakistani defense strategy will largely correspond with the Indian's spending and development programs. Furthermore, Pakistan is expected to allocate more than 3% of its GDP on defense expenditure over the forecast period, despite its relatively small economy. However, while the country received an additional US$7.4 billion of military aid from the US for its contributions towards the war on terror' during the review period, it is expected to receive an increased package of US$7.6 billion over the forecast period.
