ISTANBUL
(Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday “no one should be
surprised” if Turkey’s year-end economic growth hits 7 percent.
In a speech
at an opening ceremony in the central Turkish province of Konya, Erdogan said:
”Turkey grew 5.1 percent in the first half, no one should be surprised if
year-end growth hits 7 percent.
“We are
working on this. We are running for this to be better.”
The
government’s official annual growth target is 5.5 percent in its medium term program
for 2017-2020 period.
Erdogan’s
comments echoed those of Prime Minister Binali Yildirim earlier in the week.
