ISTANBUL, March 3 (Reuters) - Turkish annual inflation fell

Month-on-month, consumer prices rose 3.15%, the Turkish
Statistical Institute said, lower than a Reuters poll forecast
of 3.4%. Annually, consumer price inflation was
forecast to be 55.5%.
The domestic producer price index was up 1.56%
month-on-month in February for an annual rise of 76.61%
