Export expectations index increases

Türkiye’s Export Expectations Index for the third quarter of the year increased by 2.4 points from the previous quarter to 101.5, while the Import Expectations Index fell by 2.2 points to 102.7, according to data released by the Ministry of Trade on July 9.

The expectations survey was conducted between June 4-17.

On an annual basis, the Export Expectations Index declined by 4 points compared with the same period last year.

The quarterly increase in the export index was driven by positive assessments regarding export expectations for the next three months, expectations for export orders, and the level of export orders recorded over the past three months. However, evaluations related to the current level of registered export orders weighed negatively on the index.
