Turkey posted a current-account surplus in September for the second consecutive month, the country's central bank said Thursday.

The current account recorded a surplus of $1.65 billion in September. This compares with a deficit of $2.33 billion in the same month of 2020. Turkey's current-account deficit had been narrowing since March and in August it swung to a surplus.

The 12-month rolling deficit was $18.44 billion, the central bank said.
