Turkey’s consumer confidence weakened in August 2026, as the Thomson Reuters/Ipsos Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) edged down to 35.9 from 38.0 in July 2026.
The latest reading, updated on 13 August 2026, signals a deterioration in Turkish households’ outlook compared with the previous month. While the index remains in relatively low territory, the month-on-month decline highlights ongoing caution among consumers confronting economic uncertainty.
The drop from July’s 38.0 suggests that Turkish consumers may be growing more wary about their personal finances, job security and the broader economic environment as the country progresses through the second half of 2026.
