ISTANBUL
\n\"T\u00fcrkiye <\/p>\n

The wholesale and retail trade attracts the largest share of investment capital with $847 million or 23 percent, shows a report from YASED.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye<\/a> attracted $210 million in foreign direct investment (FDI<\/a>) in June, bringing the total for the first half of the year to $4.2 billion, according to the International Investors Association (YASED<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Citing the Turkish Central Bank\u2019s balance of payments statistics, YASED said total FDI inflows fell 31 percent in the January-June period compared to the same period in 2025.<\/p>\n

Since 2003, cumulative FDI inflows into Turkiye have exceeded $292 billion.<\/p>\n

Investment capital constituted $3.7 billion of the total FDI in the first six months, while debt instruments accounted for $1.7 billion and real estate sales to foreign nationals contributed $1.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Investments liquidations had a downward impact of $2.4 billion, which led to the overall 31 percent drop, while investment capital alone declined by only 6 percent as the total drop stemmed largely from a high-volume liquidation recorded in June.<\/p>\n

Wholesale and retail trade attracted the largest share of investment capital with $847 million, or 23 percent, followed by information and communication at 13 percent and finance and insurance at 12 percent.<\/p>\n

European Union members accounted for 52 percent of total FDI inflows in the first half, down from their 59 percent share recorded between 2003 and 2025.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands was the top source of investment with a 23 percent share, followed by Germany at 15 percent, the United States at 15 percent, the United Kingdom at 11 percent and the United Arab Emirates at 10 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ISTANBUL The wholesale and retail trade attracts the largest share of investment capital with $847 million or 23…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72,113,18696,61,60,63623,251954],"class_list":["post-594994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-fdi","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-trkiye","tag-yased"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
