It recorded 4.8% in January on a monthly basis, compared to 1.5% recorded in December, and retail sales increased on an annual basis, by 21.8%.
In the meantime, the focus continues on the economic consequences of the earthquake that struck the country, with an estimated death toll of about 28,000. According to internal reports issued by the Federation of Companies and Businesses in the country, the damages were estimated at more than $80 billion, including collapsed residential buildings, which amounted to 12,000 buildings, estimated at $70 billion.
Earthquake Affected About 13 million People
As for the external reports, Barclays Bank announced that it was too early to determine the size and amount of the damage caused by the disaster. Turkish Vice President Fuad Oktay revealed earlier that the Turkish authorities had launched investigations into the construction of thousands of buildings that collapsed in the earthquake and issued arrest warrants for more than 100 suspects.
The World Bank previously announced on Thursday that it will provide a combined relief package of $1.78 billion to Turkey to help recover after the devastating earthquake that struck the country and neighboring Syria. It is noteworthy that the losses exceeded the direct damages of the earthquake, as the damages included stopping the export of crude oil from the Turkish port of Ceyhan, in addition to the occurrence of some oil spills in some areas. Freight operations and air traffic were also suspended for several days.
