Turkey: Sectoral confidence slips in April

Service, retail trade, construction sector indices decrease compared to last month, official data shows

ANKARA (AA) - Confidence in Turkey's key sectors fell on a monthly basis in April, the country's statistical authority said Monday.

Among all sub-indices, retail trade sector index posted the largest monthly decline with 5.6% but it was still above the threshold level at 103.1 this month. The decrease was driven by fall in current volume of stocks and business activity-sales expectation over next three months.

Calculated from the monthly survey, results are evaluated within the range of 0-200; sectoral confidence indices signal an optimistic outlook when the value is above 100, and a pessimistic outlook when it is below 100.

The construction sector confidence index slipped 3.1% from last month to 77.3 in April, as both current overall order books and employment expectation over the next three months declined.

The services confidence index reached 105.5 in April, going down by 2% from March as demand-turnover over the past three months and expectations for the coming period worsened.
