中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月3日安卡拉报道，土耳其国营的阿纳多卢通讯社周二表示，土耳其财富基金将投资约100亿美元用于在土耳其南部建设一座石化炼油厂，此举旨在缓解土耳其的贸易逆差。
周一公布的数据显示，根据特殊贸易制度，土耳其11月份的贸易逆差比一年前增加了两倍多，达到21.5亿美元。数据显示，进出口均同比增长。
土耳其政府于2016年成立了价值500亿美元的土耳其财富基金（TVF），旨在开发和增加土耳其战略资产的价值，并为投资提供资源。
阿纳多卢援引从TVF获得的信息称，该基金将投资约100亿美元，在南部阿达纳省建设一座炼油厂和石化厂。据说建设将于2021年开始。
阿纳多卢说，该项目将在施工期创造1万个就业岗位，在综合设施投入运营后，将再创造5000个就业岗位。它还补充说，该项目每年将为土耳其的贸易逆差贡献约15亿美元。
TVF随后向路透社证实，它正计划对该地区进行绿地投资，但未提供更多细节。
政府此前已将价值数十亿美元的国有资产，包括旗下运营商土耳其航空公司、主要银行和固定线路运营商土耳其电信的股份转让给TVF。
去年10月，该基金总经理被引述说，TVF希望收购欧洲复兴开发银行在伊斯坦布尔证交所的10%股份。

Turkish wealth fund to invest $10 bln in petrochemical refinery
The Turkish wealth fund will invest around $10 billion for the construction of a petrochemical refinery in southern Turkey, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Tuesday, in a move it said was aimed at alleviating the country’s trade deficit.
Data on Monday showed Turkey’s trade deficit had more than tripled from a year ago to stand at $2.15 billion in November, according to a special trade system. Both exports and imports rose year-on-year, the data showed.
The Turkish Wealth Fund (TVF), worth $50 billion, was set up in 2016 by the government to develop and increase the value of Turkey’s strategic assets and provide resources for investment.
Anadolu, citing information it obtained from the TVF, said the fund would to invest around $10 billion for the construction of a refinery and petrochemical complex in the southern province of Adana. It said that construction will begin in 2021.
The project will create 10,000 jobs during the construction period and another 5,000 jobs when the complex is operational, Anadolu said. It added that the project would contribute around $1.5 billion annually to Turkey’s trade deficit.
The TVF later confirmed to Reuters that it was planning a greenfield investment in the area, but did not provide further details.
The government has previously transferred to the TVF stakes worth billions of dollars of state assets, including stakes in flag carrier Turkish Airlines, major banks and fixed-line operator Turk Telekom.
In October, the fund’s general manager was quoted as saying the TVF wants to buy the 10% stake of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s (EBRD) in the Istanbul bourse.
