The capacity utilization rate (CUR) in the Turkish manufacturing industry went up in September, the country’s Central Bank announced on Monday.
Local manufacturing industry units are operating at 77.4% of their capacity this month, up from the August figure of 76.7%, according to a survey by the bank.
Among the main industrial groups, CUR was highest in investment goods at 78.3%, while the lowest was 74.3% for non-durable consumer goods.
CUR figures are based on the responses of local units operating in the manufacturing industry to a business tendency survey.
The monthly data, collected from 1,744 companies in September, does not reflect the bank’s views or predictions, the Central Bank said.
