55 billion dollars contribution to the economy from the Development Path

Uraloğlu spoke at the 'Changing Global Transport Geopolitics and Development Path Project Conference' organized by the Politics, Economy and Society Research (SETA) Foundation. Uraloğlu explained that developments such as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and the Russia-Ukraine War created vulnerabilities, and countries began to look for safer, shorter, predictable and sustainable routes. Pointing out that Turkey's geographical and geostrategic superiority comes into play at this point, Uraloğlu said, "As a Turkey located in the heart of the Central Corridor, managing the Turkish Straits and building the Development Road, we clearly prove this both at the table and on the field: There is no corridor without Turkey."

70 thousand employment

Uraloğlu said that the Development Path aims to create a new trade and logistics corridor on the Asia-Gulf-Iraq-Türkiye-Europe line. Uraloğlu said, "For our country alone, we expect the project to contribute approximately 55 billion dollars to our economy in a 10-year period and to create employment opportunities for an average of 70 thousand citizens every year by positioning the production and logistics centers."
