Türkiye's industrial production expanded in the second quarter despite challenging global conditions, Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said Monday.
Şimşek's remarks came after the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) data showed industrial output grew 1.9% year-over-year in the April-June period.
In a post on X, Şimşek highlighted what he said was continued growth in high-technology manufacturing and an improving export mix.
He added that production in high-technology industries increased 3.9% in the second quarter, while the share of medium-high and high-technology products in manufacturing exports reached 44.5% as of June.
"The strong increase in value-added production and the improvement in the composition of exports are concrete indicators of the transformation taking place in industry," Şimşek said.
