The Turkish economy expanded by a record 21.7 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2021, following an upwardly revised 7.2 percent growth in the previous three-month period, as activity and demand rebounded sharply from a steep fall caused by COVID-19 restrictions last year. The country has also imposed curfews, weekend lockdowns, and restaurant closures earlier this year but these measures were fully lifted in June and seem not to have affected manufacturing and the broader economy. Household consumption and fixed investment were the main drivers of growth, rising by 22.9 percent and 20.3 percent respectively. In addition, public spending advanced 4.2 percent and net trade contributed positively to the GDP as exports rose more than imports. On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the economy grew by 0.9 percent in the second quarter. source: Turkish Statistical Institute

Turkey GDP Growth Tops Forecasts in Q1
The Turkish economy expanded 7% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021, beating market forecasts of a 6.7% rise. It is the strongest growth in 3 years, driven by industrial production and other key sectors that have recovered well from the coronavirus hit as most restrictions were lifted in March. Faster increases were seen for manufacturing (12.2% vs 10.5%) and services (5.9% vs 4.6%) and construction (2.8% vs -12.5%) rebounded. Also, the information and communications sector posted the biggest growth in the quarter, surging 18.1% (vs 15.1%). However, a strict lockdown was imposed in late April which will likely hurt economic activity in the second quarter. On a quarterly basis, the economy expanded 1.7%.
