ANKARA, June 6 (Reuters) - Turkey's economic growth will exceed its target of 4.2 percent in 2017, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Tuesday, adding that inflation would fall to single digits by year-end with the support of tight monetary and fiscal policies.
Turkey's annual consumer price inflation stood at 11.72 percent in May, official data showed on Monday, edging back from an 8-year high a month earlier. Yildirim made the comments in a speech to deputies from the ruling AK Party in parliament.
