Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Nuruddin Nebti said that his country’s economy occupies the second largest growth place among the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Group of Twenty during the second quarter of this year.
This came in a tweet on Twitter Wednesday, after the Turkish Statistics Authority announced the growth rate of the economy during the second quarter of 2022, which amounted to 7.6 percent.
“Turkey became the second largest growing country among the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Group of Twenty during the second quarter, according to the announced data,” Nebti said.
He continued, “Not only did we show strong growth performance in the second quarter, but we also maintained balanced growth for 5 consecutive quarters.”
He stated that the strong growth path was reflected in the labor market in the first half of the year, pointing to the employment of 900,000 people during the period and the reduction of unemployment to 10.3 percent.
He stressed that the gains made by Turkey with the economic model that attaches importance to growth, employment, and support for production and exports will continue until the end of the year.
