Türkiye’s industrial production rose by 3.3% in April compared to the same month last year, with strong gains in energy output offsetting declines in other sectors, according to data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute on Thursday.
The industrial production index reflects changes in the volume of production across key sectors and is a key indicator of the country’s economic activity, especially concerning export capacity and industrial employment.
The standout contributor to annual growth was the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply sector, which expanded by 8.8% year-on-year.
This marks the strongest increase among all industrial subsectors and underscores the growing role of energy output in supporting Türkiye’s broader industrial performance.
The manufacturing index, which holds the largest weight in the industrial production index, rose by 3% in the same period, while the mining and quarrying index edged up by 1.3%.
Despite the solid annual performance, industrial production contracted by 3.1% in April on a monthly basis.
The manufacturing index dropped by 3.4%, while the mining and quarrying sector fell by 2.5%.
The only subsector to post a monthly gain was energy, which rose by 0.2% from March.
