Overview
Türkiye's fdi inflows stood at 0.89% in 2025, a rise of +0.03% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.89% by 2025. Türkiye ranked 145th globally.
Türkiye’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have risen modestly from the 1970 baseline of 0.32 % of GDP to 0.89 % in 2025, placing the country 145th worldwide. The trajectory is marked by a sharp peak of 3.61 % in 2006, the highest level recorded over the 56‑year series, followed by a pronounced trough of 0.02 % in 1976, the lowest point in the dataset. After the 2006 high, inflows contracted and have since hovered below one percent, reflecting a long‑term moderation despite occasional episodic surges. Compared with peers of similar rank, Morocco’s 2025 inflow of 0.90 % and Qatar’s 0.80 % illustrate that Türkiye remains slightly above the regional average but lags behind more investment‑intensive economies. The persistence of a sub‑1 % share suggests that structural reforms, improved investment climate and diversification of export sectors will be decisive in determining whether the upward trend can be re‑ignited toward the earlier peak levels.
