Türkiye's industrial production registered the strongest annual increase in eight months, according to official data released on Monday.
The seasonally adjusted industrial production index rose 6% year-over-year in April, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) said.
Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek touted the increase he said came despite increasing uncertainties in the global economy and challenging external conditions.
The increase was mainly driven by manufacturing activity, which jumped 6.8% compared with the same month last year.
Among the main industrial subsectors, the mining and quarrying index fell 2.8% annually, while the electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply index increased 1.8% in April.
