Turkey to miss budget deficit target - finance minister
ISTANBUL, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Turkey will miss its budget deficit target this year and the deficit will likely be around 5-6% of gross domestic product, Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said on Wednesday in an interview with broadcaster CNN Turk.
He also said that in terms of economic growth Turkey will end the year better than it did during a 2008-2009 financial crisis.
