ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s economic growth will likely slow down to 4 percent this year from about 7.5 percent last year, a top government official said on Thursday.
Ali Babacan, one of four deputy prime ministers, said the government might further adjust its forecast for growth of 4 percent depending on developments in Europe’s financial crisis. He said the economy was expected to have grown by more than 7.5 percent in 2011.
