The Turkish steel industry has been in a flux over the last couple of years as a result of the massive changes in the global steel markets and the negotiations on Turkey’s membership of the European Union. Re-structuring plans are being discussed by Turkish industry sources and the EU authorities to try to improve the balance between long and flat steel production in the country.

The slowdown in export markets for long products also reinforced changes in Turkey’s traditional steel production profile. Indeed, the coming years are likely to support new investment opportunities. Moreover as a producer with a large overseas presence, there is a need to understand how Turkey fits into both global and regional markets.
