-- 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 bring cumulative international direct investment inflows since 2003 to more than USD 288 billion and provide context for the continuing cross-border legal activity observed by Istanbul-based Bayraktar Attorneys.
“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 evolving alongside its international commercial relationships. By mid-2026, negotiations to expand the Türkiye and United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement had completed five rounds, according to the Turkish-British Business Council. Progress was reported in discussions on legal services, while bilateral trade reached GBP 28.4 billion by the fourth quarter of 2025.
These developments may increase demand for cross-border legal advice covering real estate acquisitions, citizenship and residence procedures, commercial structuring, contracts, and regulatory compliance.
Bayraktar Attorneys reports advising international investors and Turkish citizens with overseas interests. The firm states that it has completed more than 200 citizenship files and maintains relationships with business partners and correspondent counsel in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Spain, Bulgaria, and several emerging markets.
Its team includes Kadir Erdi Oge, a Partner admitted as a Solicitor in England and Wales, supporting matters involving both Turkish and British legal frameworks.
Looking ahead, Bayraktar Attorneys plans to strengthen relationships across the United Kingdom, Gulf region, North America, Europe, and Latin America while developing connections in markets including Romania, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Peru, and Colombia.
The firm is also investing in digital legal infrastructure and international document-tracking systems intended to make cross-border case management more accessible for clients working across different locations.
As international investment into Türkiye develops, Bayraktar Attorneys expects legal compliance, transaction structuring, and cross-border coordination to remain important considerations for investors navigating the Turkish market.
