- Turkey Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) for January 2023 exceeded the threshold value after a 10-month gap and rose to 50.1. According to the Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ISO) report, most of the sectors increased their production and orders in January. While the most positive developments were experienced in electrical and electronic products, production in food and textile products slowed down.
- Although the Manufacturing PMI indicator in Germany was higher than expected for January, it remained below the 50 threshold. While the PMI value, which was shared as 47.1 in December 2022, was expected to decrease to 47.0 in January, it was announced as 47.3.
- Manufacturing PMI in the Euro Area was 48.8 as predicted and came one step closer to the 50 threshold.
- In the UK, the Manufacturing PMI indicator was announced as 47.0, above the expectations of 46.7 and remained below the 50 threshold.
- CPI in the Euro Zone came in lower than expected. It was announced as 8.5% on an annual basis and -0.4% on a monthly basis. Core inflation, which excludes the food and energy group, declined to 5.2% on an annual basis. On a monthly basis, it was -0.8%. The fact that inflation rates are lower than expected may encourage pigeon officials at the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce the rate of increase.
- According to the data released by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce today, retail prices in Istanbul increased by 5.94% in January. On an annual basis, there was an increase of 79.68%.
