Turkey | Annual GDP set to grow 7% in February

Industrial Production (IP) surprised on the upside by increasing 14.4% yoy in calendar adjusted terms (vs market expectation of 10.8% in December). We expect 2022 GDP growth to be 3.5%.

  • Key points:
  • Monthly IP rose by 1.6% mom, resulting in a 4.3% quarter-on-quarter growth in 4Q21 (vs 2.0% qoq in 3Q21).
  • In 4Q21, consumer goods took the lead and was followed by intermediate goods and capital goods production, where both domestic demand and exporting sectors gave a balanced contribution.
