Türkiye’s economy
The foreign investment survey of the Turkish Ministry of Trade showed, on Saturday, that the volume of Turkish direct investments abroad until the end of last year amounted to $50.8 billion.
These investments, which numbered more than 2,033 direct Turkish investments, spread to 128 countries until the end of last year, amid the exploitation of various investment opportunities abroad for the Turks.
According to the Anadolu Agency, the data showed that the volume of foreign investments for real and legal foreign individuals residing in Turkey amounted to 54.1 billion dollars until the end of 2022.
Over the past years, Turkey has succeeded in stimulating foreign investments by pumping its money into the local markets, by improving investment conditions and incentives, such as taxes, ownership, logistical areas, infrastructure and geographical location.
Returning to the investments of Turks abroad, the European Union countries acquire 750 Turkish investments, out of 2033, given their distribution abroad.
There are also 465 investments in the United Kingdom, Russia, the Balkan countries, members of the European Free Trade Association and the Eastern European region.

The European Union countries also topped the value of Turkish capital investment, with $31.2 billion.
While North Africa, which includes Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and Egypt, owns 3.2 percent of the capital investment at a value of $1.6 billion.
This percentage amounts to 3 percent, with a value of $1.5 billion, in Turkey’s neighboring countries, including Georgia, Azerbaijan, the countries of the Near East, the Middle East, and the Gulf states.
