Note that as a result of currency reform at the start of
2005, six zeros were erased from Lira prices. Thus, at end-2004 US$1 = TL
1,342,100 would now read US$1 = YTL 1.3421 (YTL- Yeni Turk Lirasi; New Turkish
Lira).
-
Official forecasts/targets are often revised mid-year. The
above table provides the initial projections. Please refer to the link on the
left margin for latest updates, should it be available.
-
Official forecasts in Turkey are provided by the Central Bank, Ministry of
Finance, State
Institute of Statistics, State Planning Organization, and Treasury. CBRT produces regular tendency surveys. Forecasts of the various
agencies are frequently, but not always, consistent with projections from other
agencies. Differences may also arise because some agencies update releases more
often. Domestic official projections should also match IMF forecasts because Turkey has periodically been implementing IMF
schemes. Please bear in mind that
official projections are, in a sense, targets.
