Marri, in his statement after the opening of the new branch of the group’s subsidiary NoorCM Menkul Değerler AŞ in İzmir, stated that they have not lost any money since they started investing in Turkey and that they know the Turkish market very well. Saying, “We did our homework on the market well and we work with very good professionals,” Marri said that they aim to grow both physically and geographically in Turkey, that they will open new offices both in Ankara and Antalya in the near future, that they will continue to expand on a product basis and that they will continue to expand in the next year. He noted that they plan to double the number of employees by the end of the year.
a dynamic market
Emphasizing that the Turkish market has a very dynamic structure, Marri continued: “Turkey’s geographical location and size presents a very important opportunity to use Turkey as a financial hub. We make Turkey a financial hub for our new products to enter the European market. If you want to enter the European market, you first enter the Turkish market. We think that we can also use the relations between Turkey and the EU. Especially considering that 5-6 million Turkish citizens live in Europe, it will be understood that there is an important potential here. We also use it to reach these citizens outside of Turkey.” Stating that they focus on growing in a balanced way in Turkey, Marri said that their aim is to be among the top 10 brokerage houses in the Turkish market. “With the Kovid-19 period and some troubled times, many Asian and European companies left the Turkish market. We continued to do business in those difficult times,” Marri said.
a deep market
Naser Al Marri stated that they now have more developed business relations, they have many things such as market know-how, people’s trust, and said that people now know that they are permanent here and that they will not leave immediately in any crisis. Noting that they aim to strengthen their development in Turkey by collaborating with major organizations, Marri made the following assessments: “This may be in the form of cooperation with one of the major mobile operators. We can cooperate with important schools and insurance companies. As a matter of fact, our cooperation with Ege University is just the beginning. “Our aim is to grow in a healthy way by cooperating with important institutions. Turkey is a very large country. If you are looking for human capacity, you can find it, it is very ideal in terms of location, it is very easy to reach. You can reach almost anywhere you want with THY, and the connection to Asia and Europe is here.” Therefore, whatever sector you want to work in, you can find it in Turkey. That’s why the Turkish market is a very deep market for us. The Turkish market wouldn’t be able to survive in such turbulence if it wasn’t so deep.” NCM Investment Group of Companies Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors Marri stated that as a group they have offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina, TRNC, Azerbaijan and Montenegro and they opened a new office in Belgrade, “The management of all these offices will be done from our office in Turkey. “It will be in Turkey and this is the way we view Turkey. We have also started to transfer young professionals from Turkey to our offices abroad. They are currently working for us in Kuwait and Dubai,” he said. Pointing out that today is a very good time to enter the Turkish market, Marri said, “I warn other investors abroad to be quick to invest in Turkey. The market in Turkey has never lost its functionality. In the financial crisis, as well as in the Kovid-19 epidemic. “The Turkish market has worked. It is entirely up to you. If you are dynamic enough to deal with this situation, you will profit from this market,” he said.
