Turkey's industrial output soared in April, mainly due to a significant increase in automotive production and a number of measures taken to give a boost to the economy, signaling a visible acceleration in the GDP growth. 

Turkey's annual inflation hit its highest in more than nine years in March, surging 11.29 percent, as the prices of food, transportation and alcohol all showed double-digit increases, official data showed on April 3.

Consumer prices rose 1.02 percent since the previous month, data from the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK) showed.

Turkey's unemployment rate rose to 12.1 percent in November 2016, marking the highest such rate since March 2010, official data showed on Feb. 15. 

Turkey's monthly inflation rose much lower than estimates in November after a decline in food prices, pushing down the annual inflation rate to 7 percent, the Turkish Statistical Institute's (TÜİK) November 2016 report revealed on Dec. 5.        

Turkish consumer prices rose less than forecast in September on the back of a significant fall in food prices, data from the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK) showed on Oct. 3. 

Turkish consumer prices fell by 0.29 percent in August, showing a steeper decline than expected and the first decline in five months, helped by some easing in clothing and food prices, data from the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK) showed on Sept. 5.
