Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said the government might allow the import of some products in order to decrease food inflation.
Zeybekci said the ministry expects a growth rate of 1.5 percent for the first quarter of the year, but this figure might be higher for the second quarter. The growth forecast of 4 percent will be achieved throughout the year, Zeybekci said, adding that they might issue import permits for food products, which contribute to the rise of inflation.
