The total amount of the projects carried out so far in the CIS reached $171.7 billion in terms of value, while it stood at $95.6 billion in the Middle East and at $65.9 billion in Africa.

In terms of the distribution of Turkish contracting projects by countries, Russia ranked first with 19.6 percent of all projects, worth $71.8 billion.

Thanks to a vast number of projects, Turkish contracting companies have gained a strong footing in the global construction sector. While there were merely eight Turkish companies in the Engineering News Record's (ENR) "Top 250 International Contractors List" in 2003, that figure rose to 46 last year, considering the total number of international projects undertaken within a year.

Some 10 of these companies were listed in the top 100, and two – with revenues of $3 billion each – ranked among the top 50.

In terms of the number of companies on the list, Turkey has ranked second only after China in the past five years.
