UKTI EXPENDITURE ON TURKEY PROGRAMMES

SUMMARY

  Please note that the figures are indicative and not necessarily exhaustive. Some activities covering multiple markets do not appear as these were not exclusively devoted to Turkey. The costs of the High Growth Market Advisor have similarly not been included as the programme involves other support activities as well as the immediate costs of the seconded advisor.

TBBC funding

  TBBC was supported in-house by the market desk until 2005 and any support to the Council before 2005-6 is not available. However, some non-UKTI funding was provided by Thames Water at the time; the UK Chair of the Council was Bill Alexander (CEO of Thames Water). An example of the support Thames provided is that they employed a local representative as a TBBC co-ordinator in Istanbul in 2003-0 MEA were awarded the secretariat role from 2005. There was some support for the Council in 2005-0(£3,452) to organise a seminar on Turkey but more support was provided in 2007-0as their programme has developed (£10,814).
