Türkiye (Turkey)

Panorama económico e industrial

Türkiye is the 17th-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, with a diversified industrial base spanning manufacturing, textiles, automotive, tourism, construction, defence, and financial services. The country is a member of the G20 and the OECD, and maintains a customs union with the European Union. Following a period of heterodox monetary policy that pushed inflation above 80% in 2022, a policy normalisation began in mid-2023 under a new economic team, bringing annual inflation down from a peak of ~85% to approximately 31% by end-2025. Real GDP growth moderated to around 3.2–3.3% in 2024 and is projected to remain in the 3–4% range through 2026, supported by resilient domestic demand and a recovering tourism sector. Borsa Istanbul has seen record IPO activity in 2023–2025, with total listed market capitalisation reaching approximately USD 465 billion as of early 2026.

Acceso a brókers locales

Foreign investors may access Borsa Istanbul equities through an approved Turkish brokerage or a global broker offering international market access. Foreign ownership of Turkish listed shares is permitted but subject to sector-specific caps (e.g. aviation, media). US-based investors most commonly gain exposure via the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) or through ADRs on OTC markets.

Reubicación y residencia

Acceso para inversores extranjeros

Türkiye does not impose residency requirements for citizenship-by-investment applicants. Foreign nationals may obtain a short-term residence permit during the application process. Istanbul and Ankara are the primary expat hubs. The cost of living is substantially below Western European levels, though persistent inflation has eroded real purchasing power in recent years. Turkey permits dual citizenship.
