ISTANBUL, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Turkey's economy expanded
5.6% in 2022, more than expected, official data showed on
Tuesday, with growth slowing to 3.5% in the fourth quarter as a
decline in demand continued to have an impact.
Fourth quarter gross domestic product (GDP) grew 0.9% from
the previous quarter on a seasonally and calendar-adjusted
basis, data from the Turkish Statistical Institute showed.
In a Reuters poll, the economy was forecast to have expanded
5.2% in 2022, with the fourth quarter growth expected to be 3%.
The poll also predicted growth of 2.8% in 2023.
Third quarter growth was revised to 4.0% from an initial
3.9%.
