土耳其财富基金将向石化炼油厂投资100亿美元

据路透社12月3日安卡拉报道，土耳其国营的阿纳多卢通讯社周二表示，土耳其财富基金将投资约100亿美元用于在土耳其南部建设一座石化炼油厂，此举旨在缓解土耳其的贸易逆差。

周一公布的数据显示，根据特殊贸易制度，土耳其11月份的贸易逆差比一年前增加了两倍多，达到21.5亿美元。数据显示，进出口均同比增长。

土耳其政府于2016年成立了价值500亿美元的土耳其财富基金（TVF），旨在开发和增加土耳其战略资产的价值，并为投资提供资源。

阿纳多卢援引从TVF获得的信息称，该基金将投资约100亿美元，在南部阿达纳省建设一座炼油厂和石化厂。据说建设将于2021年开始。

阿纳多卢说，该项目将在施工期创造1万个就业岗位，在综合设施投入运营后，将再创造5000个就业岗位。它还补充说，该项目每年将为土耳其的贸易逆差贡献约15亿美元。

TVF随后向路透社证实，它正计划对该地区进行绿地投资，但未提供更多细节。

政府此前已将价值数十亿美元的国有资产，包括旗下运营商土耳其航空公司、主要银行和固定线路运营商土耳其电信的股份转让给TVF。

去年10月，该基金总经理被引述说，TVF希望收购欧洲复兴开发银行在伊斯坦布尔证交所的10%股份。
