ISTANBUL, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Turkey's central bank governor Fatih Karahan said on Wednesday indicators pointed to weak domestic demand, while the underlying trend of inflation had slowed since July.
Karahan said the tight monetary policy stance had made the slowdown in domestic demand more pronounced and recent inflation developments showed that significant progress had been made in disinflation.
"Indicators confirm the weak course of domestic demand," he told an investment summit in Istanbul.
