Türkiye recorded USD 13.1 billion in international direct investment inflows during 2025, while Bayraktar Attorneys highlights the legal considerations accompanying increased cross-border investment and evolving commercial ties with international markets.
-- ISTANBUL, Türkiye – September 7, 2026 – International direct investment inflows into Türkiye reached USD 13.1 billion in 2025, representing a 12.2% increase from the previous year, according to figures compiled by the Presidency of Türkiye’s Investment Office using Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye balance-of-payments data.
The figures brought cumulative international direct investment inflows since 2003 to more than USD 288 billion, highlighting continued cross-border legal activity.
“Türkiye’s renewed appeal to international capital is not an abstract statistic for us — it is reflected directly in the volume and complexity of the files that reach our desks,” said Nevzat Oğulcan Bayraktar, Founding Attorney of Bayraktar Attorneys. “Our role is to make sure that every foreign investor and every Turkish citizen with international ties can navigate this landscape with clarity, security, and full compliance with the law.”
Türkiye’s investment environment is also developing alongside its commercial relationships. Negotiations to expand the Türkiye–United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement had completed five rounds by mid-2026, according to information cited by the Turkish-British Business Council. Progress was reported in discussions involving legal services, while bilateral trade reached GBP 28.4 billion by the fourth quarter of 2025.
Cross-border activity can involve real estate acquisitions, citizenship and residence procedures, commercial structuring, contracts and regulatory compliance.
Bayraktar Attorneys reports handling matters for international investors and Turkish citizens with overseas interests. The firm states that it has concluded more than 200 citizenship files and maintains relationships with business partners and correspondent counsel across the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Spain, Bulgaria and other markets.
The firm’s team includes Kadir Erdi Oge, a Partner admitted as a Solicitor in England and Wales, supporting clients whose matters involve both Turkish and British legal frameworks.
Looking ahead, Bayraktar Attorneys plans to deepen relationships across the United Kingdom, Gulf region, North America, Europe and Latin America while developing connections in Romania, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Peru and Colombia.
The firm is also investing in digital legal infrastructure and international document-tracking systems intended to improve accessibility for clients managing cross-border legal matters remotely.
As international investment into Türkiye develops, legal compliance, transaction structuring and cross-border coordination are expected to remain important considerations for investors navigating the market.
