Breaking down the monthly rises, the turnover in “industry increased by 12.4%, construction increased by 6.7%, trade increased by 12.6% and services increased by 9.5%,” TurkStat said.

According to TurkStat, turnover is an important short-term indicator used to assess the country’s economic situation.

“Turnover indices are calculated to follow the changes of this concept, which is composed of sales of goods and services invoiced by the enterprise in the reference month over time, to monitor the development on a quarterly and yearly basis,” it said.

All enterprises that declare their value-added tax to the country’s Revenue Administration are included in the turnover index calculation.
