According to Türkiye’s State Institute of Statistics, DIE, the country’s manufacturing industry operated at 72.5 percent capacity in July - down from 76.4 percent recorded in July 2000.

Fifty six percent of the 691 businesses sampled attributed their problems to low domestic demand, with just over nine percent citing low overseas demand. Three percent said production was down because of cash flow problems, while another three percent blamed a shortage of locally-produced raw materials. Other problems cited included labour and imported raw material shortages.
