Major Investment in Polypropylene Production and Liquid Bulk Terminal

Rönesans Holding, a prominent European investment and construction conglomerate, has initiated a ample private sector investment in Turkey. The project involves the construction of a state-of-the-art polypropylene (PP) production plant and a liquid bulk terminal in Ceyhan. This ambitious undertaking, valued at $2 billion, is designed to enhance Turkey’s industrial self-reliance, decrease reliance on foreign sources, and solidify its standing in the global marketplace.

Economic Impact and Financial Backing

According to Dr. erman Ilıcak, Honorary President of Rönesans Holding, these projects are projected to contribute $300 million annually towards reducing Turkey’s current account deficit once they are fully operational. This injection of capital is notably meaningful given the current global economic climate, where nations are increasingly focused on bolstering their domestic industries.

Rönesans Holding recently secured $1.3 billion in financing for these projects from reputable international institutions, including the International Financial Corporation (IFC) for the United States Development (DFC) and the Spanish Export Credit Agency (CESCE). This financial backing underscores the confidence in the project’s viability and its potential to generate significant economic returns.

Once operational,these projects will directly contribute to $300 million annually to the reduction of the current account deficit of Türkiye.

Rönesans Holding’s Track Record and Enduring Development Goals

Dr. Ilıcak emphasized Rönesans Holding’s long-standing commitment to driving Turkey’s economic growth through value-added projects. The company has a proven track record, having completed projects worth $50 billion to date, with a significant portion (approximately $35 billion) executed internationally. Rönesans Holding has been involved in numerous groundbreaking projects worldwide, ranging from the longest tunnel in Europe to its tallest building, and from the installation of the world’s largest natural gas turbines to the building with the world’s largest seismic isolation.

Moreover, Rönesans Holding aligns its business practices with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), working with key actors such as the International Financial Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank and the EBRD. This commitment to sustainability reflects a broader trend among corporations to integrate environmental and social considerations into their business strategies.

Addressing Economic Shifts and Investment Needs

Dr. Ilıcak highlighted the evolving global economic landscape, characterized by increasing protectionism and the reconfiguration of supply chains. He noted that energy and production are being strategically relocated,presenting significant opportunities for countries like Turkey.To capitalize on these opportunities, strategic investments in heavy industry are crucial to reduce the trade deficit stemming from imports of industrial machinery, plastics, chemicals, and precious metals.

To effectively bridge the economic gap, Turkey needs to allocate at least $12 billion annually over the next five years, totaling $60 billion. Such a substantial investment initiative could potentially lead to an annual GDP increase of $15 billion and a $10 billion reduction in the trade balance deficit. Rönesans Holding’s $2 billion investment in the Ceyhan polypropylene production plant and liquid bulk terminal aligns perfectly with this objective.

The construction of these projects is currently underway, with collaboration from expert partners in solutions from 12 countries. This international collaboration underscores the global nature of modern infrastructure development and the importance of leveraging expertise from diverse sources.

Attracting Foreign Investment Through Strategic Partnerships

Dr. Ilıcak emphasized the importance of attracting foreign investment through solid partnerships. By fostering strong relationships with international financial institutions and expert partners, Rönesans Holding is playing a key role in driving economic growth and development in Turkey.
