After 1980, with the increased globalization race investments in developing countries increased significantly with the lifting of barriers to capital flows. With the effect of globalization in the world economy, developing countries have started to look for ways to meet the capital they need with foreign investments. Capital flows in developing countries that are not ready for the liberalization trend, especially portfolio investments, have damaged the country's economy and plunged some countries into crisis. With the Economic Stability Decisions of January 24, 1980, Turkey entered this race and entered into full financial release with Decree No. 32 issued in 1989. In this study, the relationship between inflation, unemployment and industrial production, which is one of the economic indicators of foreign direct investments in Turkey, was analyzed with the VAR model. Johansen cointegration test, impulse - response analysis and variance decomposition analysis were conducted to evaluate the relationship between variables. As a result of the study, it was concluded that foreign direct investments from capital flows have a positive effect on the country's economy, and portfolio investments contribute positively to the economy if directed to production, otherwise it causes an economic crisis by increasing fragility as a result of leaving the country suddenly. It is necessary to create appropriate conditions for increasing foreign capital investments in Turkey, ensure economic, political and legal stability, and monitor policies for implementing regulations that encourage foreign capital.
