Turkey: Consumer confidence ticks up to multi-year high in March
Consumer confidence rose to a multi-year high of 86.7 in March from 84.5 in February; however, the index remained markedly below the neutral 100-threshold that separates pessimism from optimism among consumers.
The uptick was driven by a broad-based improvement with views on the current financial situation and the expected financial situation in the year ahead turning less downbeat, while attitudes towards the general economic situation over the next 12 months and likelihood of spending also improved.
