Istanbul Canal - the Largest Project in Turkish History image

Istanbul Canal - the Largest Project in Turkish History

On August 18, 2018, while speaking at the Congress of the ruling Justice and Development Party of Turkey the President of the Republic of Turkey, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, told: "Two new cities will be built on both sides of the Canal. This is the largest project in the history of Turkey, which is of strategic importance for the country. We are ready to implement it." Same 2018 year, specialists of the Housing Development Administration of Turkey (TOKI) conducted experimental drilling on the Canal route and assessed potential threats and risks to the environment. The Minister of Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications, Mr. Ahmet Arslan, expressed confidence that the Istanbul Canal will not have negative impact on the environment: "We intend to announce a tender," said the Minister. The Canal will run parallel to the Bosphorus and will actually turn the European part of Istanbul into a large island. Residential complexes will be built on the banks, as well as a port on the Black sea side. Not far from the Canal route, has already opened the New Istanbul airport. According to various estimates, the project cost ranges from 10 billion $ to 50 billion $. USA. At the same time, the Turkish side claims that the construction of the Canal will be provided with countries own resources. Istanbul will be a shipping channel that will be 45.2 km long, 400 meters wide, and up to 25 meters deep. It will connect the Black sea and the Marmara sea. In future, Turkey plans to steer through the new canal all 53 thousand vessels that pass through the Bosphorus every year. Today shipping between the Black sea and the Mediterranean sea is carried out through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits, and is regulated in accordance with the Montreux Convention of 1936. According to the Convention, Turkey has no right to charge ships for passage through the Straits, except for pilotage and maintenance of navigation beacons. The payment amounts are set out in the Convention, and they are much lower than the amounts that Turkey could charge. However, provisions of the Montreux Convention apply only to those Straits and channels that are specified in it, so the new Istanbul Canal will be paid for.The cost of ships passage through sea channels depends on various factors: draught, tonnage, height of deck cargo, time of application, timeliness of the ship's sailing. For example, the price of passage through the Suez Canal is from 8 to 12 US dollars per ton, and the average passage costs more than $ 160 thousand, for a heavy vessel can reach $1 million. Therefore, for Turkey, such a large-scale and expensive construction is justified, because, according to preliminary calculations, the investment will pay off in just 15 years, and the Canal will serve the Turkish Nation forever.In this regard, the situation around the Bosphorus may seriously worsen. According to the Convention, Turkey does not have the right to interfere with navigation through the Bosphorus in both peace and war times, except cases when Turkey is one of the conflict countries. Therefore, the Turks cannot simply prohibit passage through the Bosphorus and steer all ships to the paid Canal. However, nothing prevents Turkey from increasing the time for submitting applications and regulating the passage of ships in every possible way. And every day of demurrage costs crew salaries, fuel, penalties not meet deadlines, etc. In this regard, it is worth quoting the words of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2012: "Shipping in the Bosphorus will be reduced to zero. People will start doing water sports there, will be created public transport system and Istanbul will return to its old days."However, there are obvious advantages for Ukraine in the construction of a new shipping channel. If the cost of passage through the Istanbul channel is adequate, the capacity of the black sea Straits and cargo turnover of the region's seaports, including Ukrainian ones, will significantly increase. This will allow Ukraine to participate actively in the project of the New Silk Road between China and the European Union.Mr. Louis Mateus, the industry analyst of the Swiss Riverlake Shipping SA, quoted by Bloomberg, thinks that the new Canal will increase the tonnage of passing tankers. Today, the largest vessel that passes through the channel is Suezmax (the maximum for the Suez canal is 1 million barrels of oil when fully loaded). The new Canal will be able to pass VLCC vessels, which is twice as large, and the passage time will also be reduced. The Canal is planned to be launched in 2023 - the centenary of the Republic of Turkey, however, taking into account the crisis of Turkish economy, 2025 looks more realistic. If we do not take into account the nuances associated with leveling the Montreux Convention as a guarantee of free navigation, the new channel will have positive results for Ukraine. This will push the ports to increase their depth and upgrade their infrastructure, allow them to accept vessels of larger tonnage, and reduce the cost of logistics services and transit time. Together, all these factors can allow Ukraine to become a "sea gate" to the countries of Eastern Europe.

Trade Wars and the Crisis of the Turkish Economy image

Trade Wars and the Crisis of the Turkish Economy

The trade war between the United States and the Republic of Turkey led to a crisis of Turkish economy. The fall in industrial output led to the first recession in 10 years, an increase in unemployment to a record 14.7%, a devaluation of the Turkish Lira by more than 30%, and a decline in the standard of living of the population.Despite the current situation, according to Bloomberg experts, there was a significant recovery in business activity in the first quarter of 2019. The financial and real sectors of the economy and agriculture returned to growth in quarterly terms. Before the local elections in March, state-owned banks increased lending by 30% to 1.09 trillion liras ($181 billion), which helped to increase industrial production and retail sales. The volume of loans provided by private banks increased by 5%. Exports in the first quarter showed an increase of 9.5%, as the devaluation of the Turkish Lira allowed exporters to remain competitive in foreign markets. Seasonally adjusted, Turkey's GDP increased by 1.3% compared to the previous quarter, which is in line with the preliminary forecasts of economists. However, in comparison with the same period last year, Turkish economy contracted by 2.6%, due to a reduction in household spending and a decrease in purchasing activity due to the weakening of the Turkish currency. The country's inflation rate is still around 20%, and consumer confidence declined recordly.The government of the Republic of Turkey forecasts GDP growth of 2.3% in 2019. At the same time, analysts at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley forecast a 2.5% and 1.8% reduction in GDP, respectively. Their forecasts gained even more weight after on Thursday, may 16, the US President, Mr. Donald Trump, deprived Turkey of the status of a developing country that had been in effect since 1975, thereby ending the regime of trade preferences for a number of goods. At the same time, the duty rate on the import of Turkish steel to the United States was reduced by 2 times to 25%."I have determined that, based on its level of economic development, it is appropriate to terminate Turkey’s designation as a beneficiary developing country effective May 17, 2019." said the American leader.Such actions began in August 2018, amid growing tensions between the two countries related to Ankara's geopolitical ambitions and the planned purchase by Turkey (NATO's 2nd army) of Russian C-400 anti-aircraft systems.For Ukraine, this whole situation creates both difficulties and prospects. On the one hand, the deterioration of the economic situation in Turkey leads to a reduction in the volume of Ukrainian exports to this country, and the devaluation of the Lira strengthens the position of Turkish producers in foreign markets. On the other hand, Turkey's response to the United States has led to higher duties on a number of American goods, and the Turks are forced to look for alternatives. For example, Turkish demand for Ukrainian walnuts has increased sharply, as previously they were imported from the United States. Good news for Ukraine is also the reduction of the us duty on Turkish steel from 50% to 25%, since 30% of Ukrainian exports to Turkey are ferrous metals. Taking into account that the cause of the economic crisis is the political disagreement between Turkey and the United States, taking into account the frequent changes in the rhetoric of the leaders of both countries, it is difficult to make any predictions about the timing of this phenomenon.

How To Start Exporting image

How To Start Exporting

Let's try to consider what path the company should take from the desire to enter foreign markets to the first foreign operations. There are a lot of strategies and channels for entering foreign markets, but they all follow basic principles, which we will try to understand.Assessment of the company's readiness. Ask yourselves: Why should I export? Are we ready? It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Your company, identify your strengths and weaknesses. Today, there are a lot of online tests that allow you to conduct a quick preliminary assessment. This approach has proved to be very effective when employees who are responsible for various activities in the company pass such a test, and the results are compared to get a broader picture.The choice of the foreign market. Analyze several markets that interest you. It is most convenient to allocate about 5 countries. You need to evaluate: market size and competition, preferences of local consumers, barriers and difficulties that may arise, quality and certification requirements, political environment, availability of technical assistance, support programs, etc. This question should be addressed to specialists, because the cost of an error can be high. Be sure to study the experience of local companies, or those who have already successfully exported to this market.Strategy. You must have a clear plan for entering the foreign market, clearly understand whether you have enough resources in case of a negative scenario, who needs Your product and how You will provide it to the buyer. Describe the main stages, break them down into separate processes, and analyze them. Formulate clear goals that are clear to You and your employees and create a roadmap for achieving them. Keep in mind that strategy is not a dogma. Changing circumstances require changes, but you will clearly track your entire path and prospects for development.Internationalization of business. Entering new markets entails changes in the operation of the enterprise itself. Employees have new priorities and tasks, and new competencies and roles are required. Companies and employees need to adapt in such a way that they can effectively cope with existing tasks in the domestic market, and not miss the prospects of the external one. Try to reach out to those who have already passed this path. A competent mentor will allow you to avoid many mistakes.Preparing a product for a new market. Not always Your product will be demanded in the foreign market in the same form as in the domestic market. You need to create a portrait of your customer, understand their needs and the advantages that your product has to meet them. You must also consider the local quality standards, certification etc.Partner search. According to the study by UBR.ua for example, 40% of entrepreneurs are interested in finding reliable partners, and 33% are interested in establishing systematic sales, which also depends on their partners. There are many tools to do this: exhibitions, business missions, specialized associations, electronic resources, etc. The best way to understand all this is to refer to an appropriate specialist in the country.Promotion of goods in the foreign market. There are many ways to promote products on the foreign market, starting from the production of products under someone's brand, and ending with the full release of your own brand and creation of a sales network. You need to work out a marketing strategy, attract specialists for this purpose, identify the main competitors and buyers, and choose channels of communication with your consumer. In this case, our goal is to maintain the stability of sales and increase them. We recommend you to study the principles of omnichannel marketing.Customs clearance, logistics, financial calculations, legal support. Some experts refer to these issues as technical, or include them in the internationalization of business. We will focus on them separately. For certain types of products, a competent selection of the customs code and knowledge of the specifics allows you to reduce significantly the cost of clearance, that in turn makes a competitive price of your good. Modern technologies allow you to simplify and automate financial calculations and reduce your involvement in the logistics process. All this affects the value chain and the reliability of You as a supplier.Unfortunately, this article will not be able to describe all aspects. If you have any questions or topics that would be interesting to consider, we will be happy to know your suggestions.

5 Most Common Mistakes When Expanding to Foreign Markets image

5 Most Common Mistakes When Expanding to Foreign Markets

At a certain stage of their development, producers of goods and services face the challenge of expanding to foreign markets. For someone this is a completely new field, other companies already have experience in foreign cooperation and want to expand their presence in the markets, or enter new ones. In this article, we tried to consider 5 most common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when expanding to foreign markets. We will also be happy to know your questions, interesting topics and your personal experience of success and mistakes.A false idea of the need for export and a lack of self-analysis.Global markets open up many opportunities even for small businesses, but there are also many reasons why you are not ready for this.It should be understood that an enterprise that has the goal of exclusively rapid enrichment and increase in foreign currency flow obviously chooses the wrong way. Expansion into new markets is a long-term contribution to the development of your business, not a momentary scheme of enrichment. It is very important that you fully understand the company's capabilities and readiness.First of all ask yourself these questions:Are the company's management and employees ready for international challenges and do you have appropriate specialists?How flexible is the management system in your company to adapt to new markets and operate effectively in new conditions?How stable is your company and does it have enough finances to support promotion in the foreign market?Have you evaluated the new distribution of time and priorities for the company's employees and how it will affect its current activities?Exact countries and their specificities are not defined.Head of each company has subjective understanding of geographical priorities based on personal experience. Sometimes directions of external development are determined without taking into account local laws, culture, financial and customs systems, market needs or even business traditions. This vision can lead to selection of a false market.General tasks and phrases, such as: “We need to enter the Middle Eeast market." The Middle Eeast market consists of many countries, different in living standards, culture, with different needs. Such task setting leads to unclear understanding of final goals by employees and management.It is necessary to focus on several countries. Make preliminary analysis of those markets and specificities of each country, then compare results. It is efficient to engage specialists in those markets that you are interested in, study the experience of local companies. Try to estimate the size of the market, its needs and features, define your goals, ways and terms of their achievement. Ask yourself: is my product needed in this market? What competition from local companies will I we meet and where do you see your place?Lack of a clear strategy for entering the foreign market and readiness to adopt it. After selecting a certain market, you should develop a detailed strategy for entering it. A typical mistake is to duplicate the development strategy for your own local market. Often some customers' needs, cultural traditions or local competition features are not taken into account.You need to create a clear portrait of your client and what niche of the market you are targeting, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, analyze costs for expansion, what are the obstacles, what tools are needed to enter new market, develop a detailed marketing strategy, evaluate negative scenarios.It should be understood that such research should be carried out with the help of appropriate specialists. A typical mistake is to set this complex task to a company's foreign trade specialist, who was previously engaged only in customs documentation and is not an expert on a specific market.The product, marketing and sales channels are not adapted to the new market or current conditions. You should have a clear idea of whether you have adapted to the needs of local customers, selected the right marketing and sales channels. Also you should be ready to change everything in process. First of all, you must determine whether your product meets the needs of the local market or something should be changed, what are your advantages and disadvantages. There are many examples where even giants like Starbucks flouted this rule, which cost the company $ 140 million as part of a failed entry into the Australian market.Also, in addition to the tastes of customers you should take into account local culture and traditions of business. For example, in countries of Middle East, personal relationships are valued and most issues are solved while having live meetings. On the contrary, representatives of Scandinavian and Western Europe countries appreciate automation, simplification of the process, they use high-tech tools and omnichannel approaches to marketing in their work.It will be very useful to know the experience of local companies, market density. In this regard local associations may be useful. They not only include the main market players, but also cover the main problems and trends of the market.Saving on qualified staff, experts and consultingEntering new markets is not a spontaneous step, you must have clear and qualified answers to most questions, algorithms of actions. Take your road map of entering a new market and analyze each step. The more uncertain answers you have, the more risks you take. Divide the tasks into subgroups and determine for yourself whether you have a specialist in each direction. It is necessary to understand that participation of a qualified specialist is the key to the effectiveness of the process. Each company decides for itself whether to have qualified employees in team, or to involve outsource experts.Saving on such things often leads to financial losses. It is necessary to involve to the team a specialist in the certain market, who knows its specificities, main players and sales channels.Technologies also can provide a very wide range of effective tools. For example, bigdata analysis tools, which are quite expensive, but give you the opportunity to conduct a very deep and comprehensive analysis of the market, to identify, find and contact a significant part of your potential customers.

How does modern consumer behavior influence marketing strategy when entering foreign markets? Omnichannel approach in product promotion and communication with partners. image

How does modern consumer behavior influence marketing strategy when entering foreign markets? Omnichannel approach in product promotion and communication with partners.

Modern digital technologies are radically reshaping markets and value chains. In addition, they form new patterns of customer behavior, that affects the entire sales system and methods of product promotion. Innovative companies create completely new services, programs and products that make it easier to sell products.This is due to the fact that modern technologies have changed the behavior patterns of both consumers and retailers, suppliers, etc. It makes companies implement innovations in supply and sales chains, and creates new business models. Today consumers interact with a mixture of physical and online environments. They choose between different formats of physical stores and independent online platforms or social networks, that are now an important part of retail.The beginning of "fast trade" era led to the emergence of a new type of consumer, who became more conscious and inquiring. Modern consumer uses different channels of communication, he needs a much larger amount of information about the product. And this information should be as complete and convenient as possible in any source that customer uses. Consumers visit a website and a physical store for comparison. The consumer does not see any difference between purchasing channels and different platforms. Customers' expectations are more focused on the product, not channel. So he expects the same result from any information channel.Modern technologies and automation of most processes make manufacturers accelerate the cycle of development and launch of new products. This means that supply chain must respond to consumer demand faster and more accurately, and the product must be introduced both in stores and on various online platforms that are becoming global players in world trade.This convergence of online and physical channels, as well as physical and digital content, disrupts previous business model and value chain. In order to respond quickly to changes, occupy a market niche and widen the value chain, manufacturers need access to current information, sophisticated analysis of trends and demand within increasingly specialized sub-sectors.In this regard, Omnichannel has been used in marketing - mutual integration of different communication channels into a single system, with an aim of their synergy and ensuring holistic and continuous communication with the client or partner. In addition to improving quality of service, omnichannel helps in solving critical business tasks: it helps to structure customer service, increase productivity and sales.It is worth noting that this approach is applicable, with some specificities, both when building your own retail network, and working in B2B sector. Your partner should get all the necessary information on your website, see you at the fair, communicate with you in any convenient way, subscribe your news and receive physical booklets, you should be represented in profile catalogs, be member of associations, etc. After evaluating the effectiveness of each channel and its cost, it is necessary to select the most preferable and determine the scale of implementation. It is very important to establish interaction between communication channels and take into account information from the client and his needs as prompt as possible.

Search for Turkish partners image

Search for Turkish partners

Traditionally, Turkey is one of the most important trade partners of Ukraine, among other things, Ukraine has a positive trade balance.According to the Ukrainian Embassy in the Republic of Turkey (https://turkey.mfa.gov.ua/ua/ukraine-tr/trade) between January-July 2019, the trade turnover of goods between Ukraine and Turkey increased by 7.9% compared to the previous period and amounted to $ 2.602 billion USD. Exports of goods from Ukraine to Turkey decreased by 2.3% and amounted to 1.530 billion dollars. Imports of goods from Turkey to Ukraine increased by 26.8% and amounted to 1.072 billion dollars. The balance in trade for this period remained positive for Ukraine – 458 million dollars.The main export positions from Ukraine to Turkey were: ferrous metals - 30.6% (decreased by 38.5%); cereals - 27.9% (an increase of 221.8%); food residues - 9.9% (an increase of 56.4%); oilseeds - 14.9% (an increase of 29.7%).The main positions of import to Ukraine were: fertilizers - 4,0% (growth by 634,8%), oilseeds - 4,9% (decreased by 38,4%); plastics, polymeric materials - 5,1% (growth by 12,9%); apparel and fabrics, knitwear - 4,7% (growth by 160.7%); boilers, machines - 9,1% (growth by 16,3%); means of land transport, except for railway - 8,3% (growth by 4,5%); ferrous metals - 6,3% (growth by 75,1%); ferrous metal products - 8,2% (growth of 237.3%).The Turkish market is very attractive for Ukrainian entrepreneurs, but it is relatively poorly regulated. Along with conscientious producers who appreciate and love their job, who work according to international standards, the market is full of various kinds of agents and low quality production. When importing products, this creates risks of non-compliance with quality, delivery time or excessive prices. When exporting products, it forces to process a huge number of dead-end requests.So how can you find a reliable Turkish partner?Remote searchMost companies already have foreign economic specialists or use their services, and modern technologies allow everyone to search for the necessary information in the network. Therefore, very often the head of the company assumes the responsible mission of finding partners on the Internet on him or her-self or assigns a foreign trade manager, who in most cases deals only with the technical side of the process. Companies that are not yet represented on the Ukrainian Internet remain hidden from search.It is much more effective to attract a specialist from a particular country and delegate these processes. This greatly expands the range and quality of search for You, as well as reduces time and costs, as a specialist in Turkish market knows the peculiarities of local culture and business, local associations, commerce and industry chambers, different industries regional placement. All this allows you to organize a more effective and objective search for contractors.Business mission.Since the first civilizations, business missions have been the oldest and most popular way to find partners. The effectiveness of each business mission primarily depends on its preliminary preparation and planning. Many business missions end with the parties unable to find common interests.An effective business mission is rather the implementation of in advance made arrangements than a free search. Participants of the meeting in advance exchange with each other information about their companies, products and volumes of deliveries. The meeting itself is prepared and substantive.A few months before the business mission, companies create open requests for a meeting, where they place information about themselves and their needs. After that, with the help of the organizers, information is exchanged and preliminary meetings are appointed. For the other party, this allows to prepare an accentuated and individual offer.In Turkey, local Associations and Chambers of Commerce play a very important role. They provide significant financial, organizational and representative support to business. Turkish companies receive significant benefits from membership in such associations, so their participation in events is a guarantee of reliability of the negotiation parties, as well as the maximum spread of information among members of the organization.Also the peculiarity of Turkish manufacturers is a clear geographical allocation of various industries.
