Global FDI trends reveal a nuanced landscape: while advanced economies see steady growth in m&a and greenfield investments, emerging markets are facing more volatility. For Türkiye, this reflects a critical moment, one where we can observe both resilience and the need for strategic adjustments. Compared to similar emerging markets like Mexico and Brazil, Türkiye’s position holds unique potential. Our strengths in diversified exports and strategic geographic location position us well, yet competing effectively in a turbulent global economy demands proactive reforms. Enhancing Türkiye's competitive edge means prioritizing policy stability, reducing bureaucratic barriers, and investing in advanced infrastructure, these factors are critical for attracting sustainable FDI and improving competitiveness rankings. Türkiye’s path forward is about recalibration: learning from other economies while fine-tuning its strategies for investment and trade. Invest Türkiye has been instrumental in this process, driving progress by simplifying the investment landscape and securing high-value FDI across diverse sectors. In 2023, Türkiye made its mark by ranking 4th in Europe for FDI attractiveness, securing 375 new FDI projects that reflect its growing appeal. Initiatives like Istanbul Financial Center (IFC) add to this momentum by offering targeted tax incentives and an investor-friendly environment. These steps reflect Türkiye’s commitment to creating a sustainable and forward-looking economic framework, ensuring that the country remains a dynamic and competitive player in the global market.
