Turkey’s consumer price inflation picked up pace in October 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.58%, up from a 1.84% increase in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 03 November 2026, signal a renewed acceleration in price pressures after a comparatively softer monthly gain in the previous period.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the October reading reflects a stronger rise in prices compared with September, when inflation had moderated relative to August. The comparison framework shows that the current figure (2.58%) measures October’s price change versus September, while the previous figure (1.84%) captures September’s change versus August.
The upward shift in October’s CPI suggests growing short‑term inflation momentum, a development likely to be closely monitored by markets and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of Turkey’s price dynamics heading into the final months of 2026.
