Foreign investments by Turks Reach $25 Billion in 10 Years

Turkish businessmen have invested the highest amount of money in the Netherlands during the first 10 years of the new millennium, according to a report derived from official data by the Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists of Turkey (TUSKON).


Investments in the Netherlands totaled about 20 percent of the more than $25 billion Turkish investments made abroad.
