Diversifying investment portfolios and potential risks

In a session titled “Geopolitics and Investment… Unstable Paths”, Roberto

supportive investment environment and economic stability provided by the UAE.”

economic vision. These structural reforms continue to strengthen Türkiye’s

position as a flexible and attractive investment destination and consolidate its role
