ANKARA, April 19 (Reuters) - Turkey's consumer
confidence index rose 9.2% to 87.5 points in April, official
data showed on Wednesday, resuming an upward trend after a dip
to 80.1 points in the previous month.
The data showed a marked improvement in expectations for the
general economy and households in the next 12-month period.
A confidence level below 100 reflects a pessimistic outlook,
while a reading above 100 indicates optimism, according to the
data from the Turkish Statistics Institute.
The survey was conducted in all 81 provinces this month,
after seven provinces impacted by February's massive earthquakes
were left out in March.
