Turkey’s consumer confidence retreated slightly in October 2026, with the Thomson Reuters/Ipsos Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) easing to 34.9 from 35.3 recorded in September 2026.
The marginal decline signals a further cooling in household sentiment, suggesting that Turkish consumers remain cautious about their personal finances and the broader economic outlook. While the drop is modest, the index remains at a relatively subdued level, indicating continued wariness among respondents.
The latest reading, updated on 15 October 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as an additional data point on the resilience of domestic demand in Turkey, at a time when confidence indicators play a key role in shaping expectations for consumption and growth.
