ANKARA, March 10 (Reuters) - Turkish industrial production
expanded 4.5% year-on-year in January, more than expected, data
showed on Friday, returning to growth after two months of
decline due to a global economic slowdown.
Industrial output expanded 1.9% month-on-month in January on
a calendar and seasonally adjusted basis, data from the Turkish
Statistical Institute showed.
In a Reuters poll, output had been expected to expand 2.45%
year-on-year in January. The major earthquakes that hit Turkey's
south in February are likely to impact subsequent growth.
