Regional development and infrastructure demands in Diyarbak%

Business leaders in Diyarbak%r are calling for increased public investment and more equitable distribution of economic resources across Turkey. At the ISEPA’26 symposium, Mehmet Kaya, President of the Diyarbak%r Chamber of Commerce and Industry, noted that a disproportionate amount of investment incentives has historically favored developed regions, leaving several provinces with minimal support. He advocated for greater investment in infrastructure, education, and legal predictability to foster regional growth.

In subsequent discussions regarding the 2027 central government budget, Alican Ebedino%u%u, President of the Diyarbak%r Union of Chambers of Tradesmen and Craftsmen, requested that the budget be used to reduce regional economic disparities. His proposals include enhancing transportation and logistics infrastructure, such as high-speed rail and improved road networks, to position the city as a regional hub for trade with Iraq, Syria, and Iran. Additionally, he emphasized the need for support for small and medium-sized enterprises and the completion of industrial projects to ensure long-term stability and job creation.
