MALATYA, Turkey
Turkey will close out 2019 with positive growth figures, the country’s treasury and finance minister said on Thursday.
Turkey will continue to support industry and the real sector, and value-added production is the priority for growth, Berat Albayrak stressed in an event in the eastern Malatya province.
Amid success in bringing down inflation, the Central Bank has recently lowered interest rates significantly from 24% to 14%, he said.
After topping 25% last year, inflation has been gradually falling, from 20.3% this January to 9.26% in September.
