Technical study visit to Germany

The “Support to Development of a Policy Framework for Total Factor Productivity in Turkey” is building up momentum with new international activities. Following the study visit to South Korea in early December, a technical study visit will be paid to Germany to study and report on the technical cases in Germany, a country well advanced in Total Factor Productivity (TFP). Under the project, a benchmark report was earlier prepared which reviewed the country cases of Germany and South Korea and appraised the national TFP policy frameworks with a view to drawing inferences on Total Factor Productivity policies for Turkey.

An international conference for 400 participants upcoming

Another international event is scheduled for March under the Project. An international conference is planned for 400 participants from public, private and NGO sectors where the project’s outputs will be shared with the international community.
