Key points

• Industrial production rose 2.6% year on year in September, after a 1.7% fall in August, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkstat).
• It was the strongest annual reading since April, when output rose 6.1%; May through August all showed annual contraction.
• Output grew 2.1% from August, reversing a 0.9% monthly decline.

What happened

Turkstat’s data, reported by Daily Sabah, showed manufacturing up 2.6% on the year and mining and quarrying up 1.2%. Electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply posted the largest annual gain among the main sub-sectors, at 4%.

By product group, high-technology output rose 31.1% on the year and 26.1% on the month. Capital goods climbed 7.2% annually and 8.2% monthly. Energy output rose 3.9% from a year earlier but fell 1.1% from August.

Month on month

Manufacturing grew 2.3% from August, mining and quarrying 1.1%, and utilities 0.1%.

Why it matters

The September figure breaks a run of four straight annual declines in Turkish industrial output. The gains were concentrated in high-technology and capital goods, while energy output slipped on the month, so October’s release will show whether the rebound is broad or narrow.
