The manufacturing PMI declined to 50.8 in December from 51.4 in November. Turkish manufacturers experienced difficulties securing raw materials, with suppliers’ delivery times lengthening to the second-largest degree on record. This was a factor in input costs rising at the fastest pace since September 2018.
White goods-maker Arcelik (ARCLK) is targeting nominal revenue growth on a Turkish lira (TRY) basis of 20% y/y in 2021. It reported a 28% y/y rise in its revenues to Turkish lira (TRY) 41bn in 2020 from TRY32bn. Gross profit rose to TRY13.8bn from TRY10.2bn, with net profit rising to TRY2.88bn from TRY953mn.
