Quarterly GDP increased 1.1% in Q3, slightly down from 1.6% in the previous quarter. Economists surveyed by Anadolu had predicted a 3.97% growth rate for the quarter and 3.49% for the full year.
Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said that annual growth in the first nine months reached 3.7%, with the annualized national income exceeding $1.5 trillion. He noted that growth is expected to remain moderate in Q4 but slightly exceed targets in the Medium-Term Program for 2025.
