Turkish Economy Grows 5.7% in Q1 on Strong Domestic Demand Despite Anticipated Rate Hikes =============== #573d4895 ver:0.17 Despite anticipated rate hikes, Turkey's economy grew 5.7% in Q1 driven by strong domestic demand. However, the central bank's aggressive monetary tightening to combat high inflation is expected to slow growth for the rest of the year.

Inflation remains high, and the government plans to issue $10 billion worth of financing from international capital markets. #TurkeyEconomy #Inflation #RateHikes #LiraDepreciation... #newstr #Turkey #Economy #GdpGrowth #DomesticDemand #Inflation https://here.news/story/573d4895?ver=0.17
