Turkey's strategic location between Europe and Asia, its large and growing domestic market, and its integration into the global economy continue to make the country attractive for private sector investment. The country has made progress in addressing past economic imbalances, including high inflation and currency volatility. In the wider region, countries such as Jordan and Iraq are working to strengthen their economies by improving stability, expanding infrastructure, and enhancing investment conditions.

In Central Asia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are also emerging as increasingly attractive investment destinations, driven by economic reforms, growing diversification efforts, and improved frameworks for foreign investment.
