Turkey’s end-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) forecast inched higher in August 2026, rising to 29.43% from 29.21% in July, according to data updated on 14 August 2026.
The marginal increase in the year-end CPI expectation suggests that inflationary pressures remain persistent, with market participants or relevant institutions slightly revising upward their outlook for price growth toward the close of the year. While the change from July to August is modest, it underscores ongoing concerns about the pace of disinflation and the potential impact of domestic and external factors on Turkey’s price dynamics.
The move from 29.21% in July to 29.43% in August will likely be monitored closely by investors and policymakers, as it may influence expectations around interest rate trajectories and broader monetary policy decisions in the coming months.
