Turkey's economy grew 10.3 percent in the second quarter, exceeding expectations, official data showed Tuesday. It was the third quarter of growth in a row and followed a 11.7-percent increase in the first quarter of the year. In seasonally adjusted terms, gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 3.7 percent in the second quarter, the state statistics institute said. GDP had contracted by 7.6 percent in the same period last year when the Turkish economy plunged into a severe recession that caused an annual slump of 4.7 percent.
