Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/06/2014 -- BMI View: Turkey's construction industry should continue to perform well over the next year. A government guarantee and a buoyant pipeline of projects already under construction bode well for growth. However, political and financing risks have grown over the past year which we believe will dent investor interest in the market, leading to mor e moderate growth over the long term.

- Turkey's power privatisation scheme continues, and will likely see large investments made in the sector. The distribution network has now been fully privatised and the government hopes to earn an additional USD13bn in revenues from the privatisation of the remaining portfolio of power generation assets.
- Two nuclear power stations have now been awarded to winning bidders. However, the construction of the first is now delayed due to a failure to secure adequate permits and approvals. As such, our...
