POLL-Turkey factory activity reduced for first time since 2020

reuters://realtime/verb=Opener=cpurl://apps.cp./Apps/econ-polls?RIC=TRIP%3DECI poll

Istanbul, Jan. 6 (Reuters)Turkey’s industrial production index is expected to contract year-on-year for the first time since 2020 in November, according to a Reuters poll.

Industrial activity recovered strongly after the first coronavirus wave in April 2020 and has expanded for more than two years in a row since then. However, the annual growth rate has slowed significantly since the summer, and the global economic slowdown has dampened demand.

An estimated median of six Reuters polls showed a year-on-year contraction of 0.95% in the calendar-adjusted industrial production index Trip = ECI in November.

Three economists expected the index, considered a preliminary measure of growth, to rise by up to 1%, while the other three expected it to contract by up to 2.8%.

President Tayyip Erdogan’s economic program prioritizes growth, exports, investment and employment while lowering interest rates.

The central bank cut its policy rate by 500 basis points last year, to 9% after President Erdogan called for single-digit rates by the end of the year. The bank justified the cuts, saying fiscal conditions needed to be supportive to sustain growth in industrial production.

The index rose 0.5% in September and 2.5% in October, showing the impact of lower demand due to the slowing global economy.

The Turkish Statistics Office will release figures for November industrial production on 10 January at 0700 GMT.
