ANKARA - Turkey is considering offering tax relief as one of several possible measures to help companies and small businesses cope with an economic slowdown in the face of spreading coronavirus, according to two sources aware of the planning.

Adjustments to tax regulations may be on the agenda as decisions are made to help the export and tourism sectors in particular, said the sources, who requested anonymity. President Tayyip Erdogan is expected to outline steps later in the week.
