I stay in South Africa, and read with interest your comments. These are pretty accurate. So well done! However everyone just thinks of SA as resouces, which is true but there is a lot more than that. There some very asute business people running some super businesses geared to the African scene. A retailer geared to the lower end that has shown an average compound yearly growth in earnings of 23% for the last 23 years. A fashion retailer rated No 2 in the world returning very good returns even during the recent downturn. A food retailer who has sucessfully expanded into Africa with excellent results. A fast food company serving the emerging black middle class. A bank targeting the same market. These people understand Africa, what works and what does noes not.These investment opportunities are the gateway to Africa. An investment in gold mines is really not a good idea, high costs, high electricity costs, militant unions etc.

It would have been really a ptiy if the acronym CIVETS did not have T for Turkey in the end of it. The country has an enourmous potential. Thanks to its much appreciated location between Asia and Europe, Turkey has the best of both worlds. Not only that!. Middle-east and far east also are close by.
It will be a serious mistake to exaggerate political rik for the country. If anything a change in goverment will brin an even more market friendly administration and more balanced international politcs.
Use a different approach while thinking of investing in Turkey:
Count on the history which shows power of the country prevailed for decades. We will see a strong come back of the country in a few decades.
