The Turkish State Institute of Statistics (SIS) and Eurostat have recently agreed on the regular transmission of available Turkish short-term business statistics to Eurostat, in a similar manner to that for other Candidate countries. Several of the Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs) relating to short-term business statistics are already compiled by the SIS, notably the industrial production index and a domestic producer price index. Nonetheless the SIS, with support from Eurostat, is implementing activities to develop short-term business statistics, as part of the broader programme "Upgrading the Statistical System of Turkey" (USST). One of the areas of development will be time series decomposition, resulting in working day adjusted and seasonally adjusted data, that are currently not available for Turkey. For this reason most of the growth rates in this publication are based on a comparison with the situation one year earlier rather than with the preceding month or quarter.

This publication focuses on developments for industry (NACE Sections C to E), manufacturing (NACE Section D), as well as construction (NACE Section F).
