土耳其统计研究所周三宣布,土耳其经济表现超出市场预期,第一季度同比增长4%。
This growth follows a 3.5 percent annual expansion in the final quarter of 2022. Economists surveyed by the Anadolu Agency had expected Türkiye's growth to be 3 percent on an annual basis in January-March.
在此之前,2022年最后一个季度的年增长率为3.5%。接受阿纳多卢通讯社(Anadolu Agency)调查的经济学家此前预计,1月至3月,土耳其的年增长率为3%。
Despite the negative impact of the massive Feb. 6 earthquakes, domestic demand played a significant role in achieving this growth.
尽管受到2月6日大地震的负面影响,但国内需求在实现这一增长方面发挥了重要作用。
Notably, household expenditures increased by 16.2 percent during the first quarter, and the construction sector recorded a noteworthy growth of 5.1 percent, its best performance in five years.
值得注意的是,第一季度家庭支出增长了16.2%,建筑业增长了5.1%,是五年来的最高水平。
"Our country has succeeded in being the second highest growing country on an annual basis in the first quarter of the year among the EU and OECD countries whose data are disclosed," Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Nureddin Nebati said on Twitter.
土耳其财政部长努雷丁·内巴蒂在推特上表示:“在欧盟和经合组织国家披露的数据中,我国在今年第一季度成功地成为年度增长第二高的国家。”
Despite this economic growth, Türkiye's purchasing power has been impacted by its high annual inflation rate, which reached a 20-year peak of 85.5 percent in October 2022. However, the annual inflation rate has started to ease, reaching 43.68 percent in April.
尽管经济增长,但土耳其的购买力受到其高年通胀率的影响,2022年10月达到85.5%,创下20年来的最高水平。但是,其年通货膨胀率已开始缓解,4月份降至43.68%。
