Industrial production - a measure of output in the manufacturing, utilities and mining sectors - rose 4.6 percent in October from the same month in 2014, and rose 0.1 percent in October from September, the report said.      
Industrial production jumped 2.8 percent in September, year-on-year.

Turkey ran a current account surplus of $95 million in September, contrary to an expected $27 million deficit, marking the second time the country recorded a surplus in the balance of payments since 2009.

The 12-month rolling current account deficit stood at $40.6 billion, or about 5 percent of the GDP.

Turkey?s current account deficit narrowed to the lowest level of the last six years in August to $163 million amid a slowing down in the economy and a sharp decrease in the foreign trade gap. 

The country?s foreign trade deficit was announced as $4.9 billion in August, a decrease of around 40 percent from the same month in 2014 due to a plunge in oil and a rise in car exports. 

Industrial production in Turkey exceeded estimates in August, driven largely by a sharp increase in durable goods production, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜ?K) released on Oct. 8.

Turkish industrial production was up sharply in June, as manufacturing and energy output surged, the Turkish Statistical Institute reported on Aug. 7.

Industrial production increased 5.5 percent in June, compared with the same month last year, the report said. Production was also up 2.4 percent from May 2015.

Inflation in Turkey dropped sharply in June with decreasing food prices, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜ?K) stated on July 3, but analysts doubt that a further decline is in store. 

The Consumer Price Index dropped 0.51 percent in June from May, bringing the annual inflation rate to 7.20 percent in June from 8.09 percent in May.
