Türkiye's trade sales volume rose significantly by 10.8% in March compared to the same month last year, according to a statement released by the Turkish Statistical Institute on Monday.
The robust growth was driven by strong performances across various sectors, with wholesale and retail trade, including repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, jumping 12.8%. Wholesale trade sales volume increased by 11.1%, while retail trade sales volume grew by 9.2% annually.
On a monthly basis, trade sales volume continued its upward trend, increasing by 5.0% from February to March 2025. The wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles sector saw a 3.6% rise, and wholesale trade sales volume surged by 8.1%. However, retail trade sales volume bucked the trend, declining by 1.4% compared to the previous month.
The data highlights a dynamic trade sector in Türkiye, with significant annual gains tempered by a slight monthly dip in retail, reflecting mixed consumer spending patterns. (ILKHA)
