ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkey attracted nearly $13.2 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2018, said the head of presidency's investment office on Monday.

The Netherlands and Azerbaijan were the top two sources of direct investments last year, Arda Ermut told a meeting in Istanbul.

"We want to receive 1.5 percent of total global direct investments. At first, we want to reach $18 billion [of FDI] then $20-25 billion," Ermut said.
