MUSIAD expo Another surprise of the Car of Turkey. I think our national and international participants will spend a lot of time at the TOGG booth. Turkey's Car Project, with a vision far beyond producing cars. We made our claim and set out to establish a mobility ecosystem from scratch.
Many domestic suppliers in Turkey Automobile Enterprise Group (TOGG) joined the family. Among the suppliers, there are young startups, start-ups that have never worked with any main producer before. Battery production will also take place in our country in cooperation with a global brand. Our vehicles will hit the road in 2022 with 51 percent local and in 2026, they will continue with 68 percent domestic.
Estimates show that the global economy will shrink by over 4 percent this year. Turkey, in such a difficult period, compared to more successfully manage both their peers in developed countries. During this period, Turkish industry has amply demonstrated its ability to both maintain its production capability and rapidly adapt to changes.
We take firm steps towards this goal with our production infrastructures, our perfectly functioning supply network, our qualified human resources, hard-working entrepreneurs and our strong R&D ecosystem. We do not differentiate between domestic and foreign in the policies we apply. generating employment in the territory of Turkey and which contribute to everyone, for us, is the local and national.
In order to increase both domestic and foreign productive investments in the new period; We are accelerating structural reforms. The steps we have taken in the recent period are also appreciated in the international arena. In the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index, we climbed another 10 places to 33rd place.
We are preparing our Foreign Direct Investment Strategy to increase our share in global value chains and attract more investments to our country. Turkey is giving direction to the global trend, we are trying our power to make it a leading actor. We strive to build support mechanisms that will encourage the real sector in the best possible way.
The steps we will take in cooperation with our trade and investment partners to grow together, win together and spread this to the society will return to us as an increase in competitiveness and welfare, and will open the door to a more prosperous future.
