Reuters - Invest AD, a state-owned investment fund, will pay EUR 50 million (USD 74.92 million) to acquire a "significant" minority stake in Turkish logistics company EKOL Lojistik A.S., it announced last week. The investment, a capital increase aimed at funding the Turkish company’s expansion plans, is the first by Invest AD's new private equity fund.
