Macro level analysisEconomy
Turkey, a newly industrialised country with a gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 786 billion and per capita incomethat nearly tripled and exceeding USD 10,000, is ranked the 18th largest economy in the world. The key factors thatare believed to be the driving force for Turkey’s economy are lower inflation, which will decrease to 5 per cent by 2025,high FDI, which will reach USD 47.30 billion by 2025, and lower unemployment, which is expected to decrease by 4.6per cent by 2025.
Mining & Quarrying sector contribution to GDP
Globally, Turkey is ranked 10th as a producer of minerals in terms of diversity. As of 2013, about 60 different mineralswere produced in Turkey. The richest mineral deposits in the country are boron salts, with 72 per cent global reserveshare. It is a leading producer of feldspar, marble, barite, celestite (strontium), emery, limestone, magnesite, perlite, andpumice.
Foreign Direct Investment in Turkey
In 2013, FDI inflows to Turkey has managed to move towards the positive side but when compared to 2011 it is still onthe lower side, in line with the global FDI flows. However, the mining sector managed to remain on course attractedUSD 729 million in FDI between 2008 and 2013.
Government incentives:
The Turkish Government is moving towards large-scale privatisation of mining activity to attract foreign investments.The mining law in 2010 stated that a foreign company could hold 100 per cent of Turkish exploration / operationslicence provided the company is set under the Turkish law. The VAT Law amends to exempt the gold mining industryfrom paying VAT on its activities, which helps Turkey to be stable and competitive with other countries by reducing thecost of mine construction and production of precious metals.

PUMICE STONE:
Pumice is a type of pyroclastic igneous rock, which is light and porous. It is formed fromlava that is filled with several gases. During volcanic eruptions, liquid lava is emitted. Asthe lava smashes through the air, it cools and the gases flow out from the rock, leavingholes. All types of igneous rocks can be transformed to pumice rock if the eruptive conditions are suitable. When greater amounts of gas exist in the rock, the result is a finger-grained variety of stone, termed as pumice stone.
Turkey has 3 billion cubic metre (m3) of pumice reserves, most of which are found inKars, Isparta, Nevsehir, Van, Agri, Kayseri, Ankara, Bitlis, and Mugla.

CHROMITE:
Chromite ore is found in peridotite from the earth’s mantle. It also occurs in layeredultramafic intrusive rocks and in metamorphic rocks such as serpentinites. It is thecommercial name for Iron Chromium Oxide (FeCr2O4); the oxide mineral containschromium and belongs to the spinel group. Magnesium can be substituted for ironin variable amounts as it forms a solid solution with Magnesio chromite (MgCr2O4).
Turkey has a 2.4 per cent share in global chromite mining and holds 25 million MTof reserves. Turkish chromite reserves are located in the Guleman district of Elazig,the Kopdag district of Erzincan, the Fethiye district of Koycegiz, Mugla, Eskisehir, andthe Pozanti district of Adana, Harmancik, the Orhaneli district of Bursa, and thePinarbaşı district of Kayseri.

CONCLUSION:
Turkey, with its large mineral resource, is keen on expanding its mining industry, with the Government focussing on allkey segments to attract investments from private sectors. The Government is providing necessary and uninterruptedpower supply to the industries, which plays a vital role in the mining sector. Tax benefits and incentives provided to theinvestors by the Government clearly show its interest in increasing privatisation and FDI in the mining sector. Factorslike rapid urbanisation, increasing population, and the country’s location acting as a hub to major markets like the MiddleEast, Asia, Africa, and Europe are considered the driving forces for the mining sector of Turkey.
The only setback for Turkey being the technology used in the industries and the development in the production ofdownstream products, whereas in the other side the expectations of the end user industries’ growing every day. Turkeyhas to come up with developments in the R&D department to help the industries in bringing latest trends and technologyinto the production and to look for business expansion and growth by focusing on the production of processed mineral,which will help the industries of Turkey to compete in the global market and to achieve the vision 2023.
