  • Turkish-Chinese Cooperation on the Belt & Road Initiative
    EKONOMICKÉ ROZHĽADY – ECONOMIC REVIEW Ročník/Volume 50, 2/2021 161 TURKISH-CHINESE COOPERATION ON THE BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE BARBORA DRUŽBACKÁ1 Turecko-čínska spolupráca v rámci iniciatívy Jedno pásmo, jedna cesta Abstract: China’s ambition to get to the top of the largest economies is obvious. This is also the reason in 2013 China launched the largest initiative in modern history – the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) – to revive the ancient Silk Road using state-of-the-art technology and to connect the Eurasian continent. In this context, China has cooperated with many countries, including Turkey. China and Turkey have a history of complicated relations, but it turns out that it is the cooperation on the ongoing projects of the BRI that could improve relations. This article aims to highlight Turkey’s position in the BRI, describes relations between these countries, analyses mutual trade, Chinese investment in Turkish territory and focuses on major projects under the initiative. The results showed that countries in economic interest are deepening their mutual cooperation despite cultural and ethical problems, but there is a large imbalance in market reciprocity. The paper also points out the most important BRI projects, with the opening of the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway being identified as the most significant project implemented. This railway opens an alternative land route so-called southern branch of the New Silk Road. Turkey is becoming an important country as a gateway to Europe. Keywords: Belt and Road Initiative, BRI, Cooperation, Investment, China, Turkey JEL Classification: F20, F50, P45 1 Ing.

  • Resumption of Work on Two Large Greek Motorway Concession Projects in Which VINCI Is a Shareholder
    Rueil-Malmaison, 20 January 2014 Press release Resumption of work on two large Greek motorway concession projects in which VINCI is a shareholder • A total investment of €3.1 billion • More than 10,000 jobs generated • Set to open to traffic by the end of 2015 Following three years of intensive work with the Greek government and its financial partners, VINCI announces the resumption of construction work on the 365 km motorway between Athens and Tsakona and the 240 km motorway section between Maliakos Bay and Kleidi. The two concession projects underwent in-depth restructuring that made it possible to complete their refinancing in December 2013 and to resume construction work at the beginning of 2014. The two projects account for a total investment of €3.1 billion (Athens-Tsakona: €1.8 billion, Maliakos-Kleidi: €1.3 billion). VINCI Concessions is a 30% shareholder in the Olympia Odos company, which holds the concession for the Athens- Tsakona motorway, and a 15% shareholder in the Aegean Motorway company, which holds the concession for the Maliakos-Kleidi motorway. The resumption of these projects, which are crucial to Greek infrastructure competitiveness, illustrates the long- term strength of the public-private partnership model, notwithstanding cyclical fluctuations. In addition, the projects boost local economic development. The resumption of work with a view to opening the motorways to traffic by the end of 2015 will account for about 10,000 direct and indirect jobs during peak construction. Motorway operation will consolidate about 1,000 jobs. Press contact: Maxence Naouri Tel.: +33 (0)1 47 16 31 82 [email protected] Olympia Odos, the concession company bringing together VINCI Concessions (30%), Hochtief and three Greek partners, signed the 30-year Athens-Corinth-Patras-Tsakona motorway concession contract with the Greek government in 2007.
