Turkey's annual inflation rate is forecast to rise to 12.20% in September, said a panel of economists on Friday.

The 14 economists polled by Anadolu Agency predicted a rise from August's yearly rate of 11.77%.

Year-end inflation is predicted at 11.86%, in an average taken from estimates ranging between 10.90% and 13.40%.

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) is due to release the official inflation figures next Monday, Oct. 5.
