Turkey Capacity Utilization Rises in September as Manufacturing Confidence Eases
Turkey’s manufacturing capacity utilization rate increased to 74.2% in September from 73.5% previously, pointing to somewhat stronger use of existing production capacity.
At the same time, the Manufacturing Confidence Index slipped to 102.0 from 102.8. Because the index remained above 100, sentiment among manufacturers was still in positive territory, though confidence weakened slightly from the prior month.
