"Hopefully, we will make a good start to 2023 by closing 2022 at a record level," he stressed.

He added that being among the top five countries in G-20 with its GDP growth rate showed that Türkiye is getting stronger.

Noting that the nine-month GDP growth rate was at 6.2%, Nureddin Nebati, the Turkish treasury and finance minister, said: "We will be one of the strongest growing countries this year, closing the year with a growth rate of around 5%, as we predicted in the medium-term program."

"We strongly believe that the Turkish economy will continue to rise on the shoulders of our industrialists in 2023 … and in this context, the production, export and employment-oriented growth process of our national economy will continue in the upcoming period as well," he added.
