ANKARA (Reuters) - Economic pledges made by Turkey's ruling AK Party in its campaign for a Nov. 1 election will cost 1 percent of next year's government spending, Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said in a televised interview on Wednesday.
Simsek told Turkey's Bloomberg HT broadcaster that budget performance would be better than expected this year despite negative developments, and that he did not plan any tax increases or new taxes in 2016.
