Invest News DetailAA- Türkiye’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Friday that Türkiye attracted investments of around USD 6 billion in the first eight months of 2009. Türkiye's Premier said Türkiye drew that much investment in the first eight months of 2009 as the global crisis affected direct foreign investments. "Türkiye will continue to attract more direct investments as the global crisis has been overcome", said Erdogan during a meeting at the Investment Support and Promotion Agency of Türkiye (ISPAT). Erdogan said Türkiye has become a center of attraction for investments, thanks to its radical reforms, stability and strong economy. There are 22,821 international companies in Türkiye, including 12,463 from European countries and 3,888 from the Near and Middle Eastern countries, Erdogan added.
