Syrian businesspeople have invested more than $1.5 billion in Turkey, a Turkish newspaper quoted Ziad Shamaoun, deputy chair of the Syrian Businessmen's Association (SİAD) as saying.
Numerous Syrians who fled the civil war and took refuge in Turkey have been integrated into the Turkish economy, operating in diverse sectors, including retail, textile, agriculture, food, e-commerce, manufacturing, construction and real estate.
During 8 years of war, over 300 Syrian businesspeople, who fled to Turkey, continue their economic activities with investments in the country.
Last year in July, the Syrian businesspeople in Turkey signed a protocol to open 10 factories in Turkey's southeastern city of Şanlıurfa where 1,540 people will be employed with an investment of TL 80 million.
