Turkey’s consumer price inflation slowed on a month-over-month basis in March 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.94%, down from a 2.96% increase in February 2026.
The latest data, updated on 3 April 2026, show a moderation in the pace of price growth when comparing March to February, following a stronger month-on-month rise recorded in February versus January. The current March reading of 1.94% represents a deceleration in monthly inflation pressure compared with the previous month’s 2.96%.
The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, where “Actual” reflects the change in CPI for March relative to February, and “Previous” reflects the February change relative to January. While prices continue to rise, the softer March print may be seen as a tentative sign of easing short-term inflation momentum in Turkey.
