Turkey's current account deficit falls
ANKARA - Turkey's current account deficit fell to $703 million in July from the previous month's $1.343 billion, the central bank said on Thursday, slightly above a median forecast of $700 million in a Reuters poll.
The current account deficit for the first seven months was $10.025 billion, 88.2 per cent above the $5.324 billion in the same period last year.
The government full-year deficit target is $10.8 billion, revised from an earlier $7.6 billion.
The widening current account deficit has unsettled markets, but Economy Minister Ali Babacan said on Tuesday that worries about the deficit was exaggerated.
Babacan said a higher-than-projected current account deficit went hand in hand with an overall improvement in the Turkish economy, and did not threaten stability.
The government said before it was taking revenue-boosting measures to help curb the deficit, and hinted tax on consumer loans might be raised to curb domestic demand.
