UK Invests $840 Million Across 21 Projects in Turkey

According to Ekonomi Gazetesi, the UK has made a total of $840 million in investments across 21 separate projects in Turkey. The report does not provide additional details on which sectors received these investments; however, it emphasizes that the figure reflects a growth trend in UK-Turkish economic relations.

Following its departure from the European Union in 2020, the UK has moved to strengthen bilateral trade and investment ties with Turkey. A Free Trade Agreement between the two countries was signed in 2021, and negotiations are ongoing for an expanded framework agreement.

The $840 million investment package stands out as a concrete outcome of this strategic rapprochement. A figure of notable significance for Turkey's foreign direct investment targets, it places the UK among Turkey's key investor partners.
