Turkey continues uninterrupted growth

Noting that Turkey continues its uninterrupted growth, "We find the growth rate of 4.4 percent in the second quarter very positive. We are all witnessing the recent developments in the world economy and Turkey has yet managed to grow uninterruptedly." Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan said, adding, "We are expecting a growth rate of slightly below 4 percent, but above 3.5 percent." He also said that foreign economic developments would begin to affect Turkey's growth in the third quarter of the year. "Turkey is the fastest growing country in Europe. These figures make us the leader in terms of growth in Europe and the fastest growing country in OECD," Caglayan added.
