Turkey’s retail sales growth slowed in July 2026, with the month‑over‑month indicator easing to 0.2%, down from 0.5% in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 11 September 2026, indicate that consumer activity continued to expand, but at a more moderate pace than in the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the July reading reflects a weaker increase in retail turnover compared with June, when sales had grown 0.5% versus May. The comparison underscores a loss of short‑term momentum in Turkey’s retail sector, suggesting that demand conditions may be stabilizing after a stronger early-summer performance.
