4.3 Industrial sectors and trade 4.3.1 PMI Production dynamics
IHS, which compiles the data for the index in cooperation with the Istanbul Chamber of Industry, has seen signs of recovery in Turkey’s manufacturing industry for a while.
Turkey’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) score was in line with the 50.0 “no-change” mark in September, up from the 48.0 seen in August, IHS Markit said on October 1.
The figure ended a 17-month sequence of softening business conditions—any result greater than 50.0 indicates overall improvement, anything below denotes deterioration.

4.4.1 Labour market, unemployment dynamics
