In April 2025, the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) for Turkey recorded a dip, signifying a decline in consumer confidence. The index, which serves as a critical barometer of consumer sentiment, decreased from 35.0 in March to 33.1, reflecting growing economic uncertainties faced by the nation.
This marks a continuation of fluctuating consumer confidence trends as individuals and businesses navigate economic challenges. The index's drop suggests that consumers may be feeling the pressures of economic conditions and possibly anticipating additional hurdles in the coming months.
Updated data released on April 10 shows that these sentiments have implications for spending, investment, and overall economic activity in the country. Economists and policymakers will be closely monitoring the situation to potentially devise strategies aimed at boosting confidence and reinvigorating economic momentum. As such, all eyes will be on the forthcoming indicators to gauge how Turkey's economy will weather its current trials.
