Türkiye Attracts USD1.5B in Foreign Investment in 60 Days


(MENAFN) Türkiye attracted $1.5 billion in foreign direct investment during the first two months of 2026, with Germany, the Netherlands, and the UAE emerging as the top three source nations, according to figures released Monday by the Association of International Investors (YASED).

February alone accounted for $780 million of that total, underscoring an accelerating pace of inflows as global investors continue to direct capital toward the Turkish market. Since 2003, cumulative FDI into Türkiye has surpassed $289 billion — a figure that reflects more than two decades of sustained international confidence in the country's economy.

EU member states, which have historically dominated Türkiye's foreign investment landscape with a 59% share of total inflows over the 2003–2025 period, represented 35% of February's figures — a notable dip that points to a gradual diversification of investment origins.

The monthly breakdown reveals a shifting geographic mix. The UAE led all nations in February with an 18% share, followed closely by Singapore and the US, each at 15%, with Germany at 14% and Spain rounding out the top five at 9%.

Over the full two-month period, however, European heavyweights reasserted their dominance. Germany topped the rankings with $198 million in total investments, ahead of the Netherlands at $118 million and the UAE at $95 million — the latter's strong showing highlighting the deepening economic ties between Türkiye and Gulf investors.
