Türkiye's economic confidence improved by 0.3 percentage points monthly to hit 98.2 in October, marking the highest value seen since March, according to official data released on Thursday.
Looking at sub-indices, three of them posted declines, while two increased in October, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) said.
The retail trade confidence index increased 3.7% on a monthly basis, and the real sector confidence index rose 1.2% in October.
On the other hand, the construction confidence index decreased 5.3% in October, and the services confidence and consumer confidence indexes both fell 0.3%.
The economic confidence index, a key indicator of the overall economic situation, hovers between 0 and 200. A reading above 100 indicates optimism about the overall economic outlook, while a value below 100 reflects a more pessimistic assessment.
