The International Investors Association (YASED) stated that 8.5 billion dollars were invested in Türkiye during the period in question and that this figure has fallen by 1 percent compared to the same period last year. Since 2002, a total of USD 272 billion in direct investment has flowed into Türkiye.
770 million dollar inflow in October
Of the total USD 770 million invested in Türkiye in October, USD 417 million was in investment capital, USD 170 million in debt securities and USD 188 million in real estate sales to foreigners. The total inflow of foreign direct investment was deducted from this amount, as investments amounting to USD 5 million were liquidated in the same period.
Netherlands in first place, Europe in leading position
On the list of countries that invested the most in Türkiye between January and October, the Netherlands came first with an investment volume of $885 million. The Netherlands was followed by Germany with 598 million dollars and the USA with 524 million dollars.
In October, 23 percent of direct investment in Türkiye came from Germany, 16 percent from the Netherlands, 15 percent from the United Kingdom and 15 percent from the United States.
While European Union countries accounted for 58 percent of international direct investments to Turkey between 2002 and 2023, their share fell to 49 percent in the first 10 months of this year. However, non-EU European countries continued to be the second region with the highest investment share with a share of 21 percent.
Long-Term Trust
YASED emphasized that the direct investment volume, which has reached 272 billion dollars since 2002, is an indication that Türkiye continues to be an important center for international investors. Economic reforms and incentive policies are aimed to increase investments for the rest of the year.
