Turkey’s economic sentiment continued its gradual recovery in mid-2026, with the Economic Confidence Index edging up to 99.80 in July 2026 from 98.90 in June 2026. The latest reading, updated on 30 July 2026, brings the index closer to the 100-point threshold that typically separates pessimistic from optimistic expectations.
The July improvement suggests a modest strengthening in overall confidence across key sectors of the Turkish economy. While the index remains just below the neutral 100 mark, the consecutive monthly gain indicates that businesses and consumers are, on balance, slightly less cautious than they were at the end of the second quarter.
With confidence now approaching parity, market participants will be watching upcoming data to see whether this upward trend solidifies into a sustained shift in sentiment or plateaus below the expansionary zone. For policymakers and investors alike, the near-100 reading will serve as a key barometer of how resilient domestic expectations remain amid evolving economic conditions.
