How turkey is using foreign real estate investment to alleviate economic pres...Dr. Ehsan Bayat
The Turkish government recently changed its citizenship regulations to attract more foreign investment in real estate as a way to support its struggling currency, the Turkish lira. Under the new policy, foreigners who purchase at least $250,000 worth of real estate and hold it for three years can apply for Turkish citizenship. This is aimed at bringing foreign currency into Turkey's economy as inflation and the devaluation of the lira have caused economic turmoil.
