Turkey: Overseas Investment
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the contribution of Turkish investments in the UK and UK investments in Tϋkiye; and what support they provide to British companies seeking investment opportunities in Tϋkiye in relation to the infrastructure, renewable energy, and technology sectors.
- Answer
-
Investment from Turkey makes an important contribution to economic growth, innovation and employment across the UK. In 2025–26, there were 25 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects from Turkey into the UK, creating 564 new jobs.
His Majesty's Government does not provide proactive support to British companies seeking investment opportunities in Turkey but generally backs the Turkish government’s ambition to attract FDI across a range of sectors.
