Turkey’s state statistics agency removed a senior official overseeing the calculation of a key measure of output after worse-than-expected economic data, a move it said was a rotation.
Cihat Erce Isbasar, the chairman of the national accounts directorate, was reassigned to a new department late last month, Bloomberg reported Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity as it hadn’t been announced.
