Washington News Clause protects investors
A four-year-old case involving Howard International of New York and the Turkish government won parliamentary approval in Turkey. The Turkish parliament backed a bill to honor a debt tied to a Turkish steel mill project, restoring investor confidence and reducing the need for U.S. aid pressure. The case centers on a 2.4 million contract for a steel mill, payments of about 1.5 million received by Howard, and the 1960s political upheaval that left the claim unsettled. The development may lead to payment by the new Turkish government under Ismet Inonu and reaffirms Turkey’s credit standing.
