Turkey’s consumer confidence index edged down in March 2026, signaling that households remain cautious despite being close to previous levels. The indicator declined to 85.0 in March from 85.7 in February 2026, according to data updated on 23 March 2026.
The slight drop keeps the index well below the neutral 100 threshold that typically separates pessimism from optimism, underscoring subdued sentiment among Turkish consumers. While the movement is modest, the downward trend suggests that households may still be grappling with uncertainty over their financial outlook and the broader economic environment.
