Turkish manufacturing capacity utilization rate stable in June

The capacity utilization rate of Turkiye's manufacturing industry remained stable compared to a month earlier in June, according to official data released on Monday.

Local manufacturing industry units operated at 76.3% of their capacity this month, the Turkish Central Bank's data showed.

The seasonally adjusted capacity utilization rate in the manufacturing industry edged lower by 0.4 points from May to 76.2% in June.

While the highest capacity utilization this month was in intermediate goods at 76.3%, the lowest was in non-durable consumer goods at 73.6%.

The Turkish Central Bank said 1,738 companies responded to the survey this month, and the data does not reflect the bank's views or predictions.
