Turkey's manufacturing sector showed signs of improvement in February as declines in output, employment and inventories eased, while new orders neared stabilisation suggesting improving customer demand, S&P Global reported on Monday. The Istanbul Chamber of Industry Turkey Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 49.3 in February, up from 48.1 in January. While still below the 50.0 threshold that indicates growth, the figure is at the highest level since April 2024, when the current period of moderation began.
