We are very pleased at the outcome. This shows our confidence in the Turkish economy.

The economy is compounding saturation issues in the installed base, ... So I think until we see consumer confidence improve and the general economic situation improve, then we should not expect the upturn.

The doldrums of summer haven't dampened the demand for our cars and trucks. Confidence in the economy still remains strong and continues to drive consumer demand for big-ticket items.

There is now a lot more confidence in the European economy. We've had exports expanding for a while, but now we have an expansion in the domestic economy which is promising for the outlook.

European economies are picking up. The German economy in particular is expanding, shown in yesterday's confidence figures, supporting the euro.

This is a better-than-expected report, but not one that gives you full confidence that this is an economy ready to spring ahead.
