AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This Turkish government communiqué, published on 31 January 2026, amends the original 2019 Priority Products List Communiqué. It updates the legal references in Articles 1 and 2 to align with two newer decisions: the Presidential Decision No. 9903 dated 29 May 2025 on State Aids in Investments, and the 2016 Council of Ministers Decision No. 2016/9495 on Project-Based State Aid for Investments. The core change is the revision of nine annexes (Ek-1 through Ek-8 and Ek-10) which contain the actual lists of priority products eligible for investment incentives. These updated lists determine which products qualify for state support under Turkey’s investment incentive regime.
