ANKARA, March 2 (Reuters) - Turkey's central bank said on
Thursday it is monitoring the impact of earthquake-related
supply-demand imbalances on inflation, adding that the effect on
production, consumption, employment and expectations are being
"extensively evaluated."
In the minutes of last week's Monetary Policy Committee
meeting, the central bank said the short-term effects of the
earthquakes had been partly reflected in production and orders
expectations in the manufacturing sector.
Foreign trade data suggests exports are recovering after the
initial decline due to the earthquakes, it said, adding that
industrial production infrastructure in the region has been
largely maintained and that production has been sustained.
