Richards also stated that the construction sector in Turkey, although it witnessed a decline last year, i.e. 2019, contracted by about 8 percent after a decline recorded in 2018, by 2.1 percent, the leap that it will witness in the next few years will change all the facts and make it a leader in the country's economic field.
