Turkey’s consumer price inflation accelerated in February 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 31.53%, up from 30.65% in January 2026.
According to data updated on 3 March 2026, the February reading reflects the change in prices compared with the same month a year earlier, continuing the upward trajectory seen at the start of the year. The previous figure for January was also measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing January 2026 to January 2025.
The increase in the annual CPI rate signals that price pressures in Turkey remain elevated and are still intensifying on a yearly comparison, a key consideration for investors and policymakers tracking the country’s inflation dynamics and potential monetary policy responses.
