The Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) reported on Thursday that confidence indices across key sectors declined in April compared to the previous month.
The seasonally adjusted confidence index fell by 4.3% to 109.5 in the services sector, dropped by 2.5% to 110.6 in the retail trade sector, and decreased by 4.2% to 85.1 in the construction sector.
The declines reflect growing uncertainty in these industries, with the construction sector showing the lowest confidence level among the three.
