Firm to hold off investments German cement maker HeidelbergCement will hold off from making investments in Turkey for the moment given political uncertainty in the country, its chief executive said on March 16.

Foreign investor sentiment towards Turkey has been hit by widening security concerns and fears of growing uncertainties.

“There could be opportunities for deals in Turkey at reasonable prices,” Bernd Scheifele told reporters at a news conference following the company’s annual results. 

But he also said there was a risk that any such deals might not be the bargains they seemed given the political 
uncertainty.

Scheifele said he was concerned about the situation in Turkey, which he said was not good for economic development in the country.

HeidelbergCement has a joint venture with Sabancı Holding in Turkey, cement and ready-mixed concrete maker Akçansa.
