Turkey's economy minister said on Thursday that economy bureaucrats had revised year-end export target as 150 billion USD.

Zafer Caglayan said that Turkey's year-end export target was 148.5 billion USD in the medium term economic program.

"However, we have revised our export target as 150 billion USD after we have seen the export figures of January," Caglayan told reporters in the northwestern province of Bursa.

Turkish Exporters' Assembly said on Wednesday that exports reached 10.5 billion USD in January 2012 with a 10 percent year-on-year rise.
