TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu:
Indicators show moderate
growth continues
CERN offers new opportunities
for Turkish industrialists
W
hile closing the year 2015, alt-
hough the indicators point to
some slowdown in economic growth
performance for the last quarter, we
expect the overall 2015 growth rate
to stand at 4%. Private consumption
held the largest share in the current
year’s improved growth performance,
compared with the growth rate of 2.9%
recorded in 2014. The current indica-
tors show that some moderate growth
continues in economic activities. It is
projected that income channel will
support domestic demand through
salary hikes and low oil prices.
