The Privatisation High Council in Turkey is very active. The privatisation portfolio consists of numerous state-owned entities that have been privatised or are awaiting privatisation. The main categories are maritime, food, mining, petrochemicals, textiles, transportation, energy, banking and ports.

Privatisation methods are:

• the sale, lease or granting of operational rights
• the establishment of property rights other than ownership
• profit-sharing models and other structures dependent on the nature of the entity
