Turkey's economic confidence reflects an optimistic turn as the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) has shown positive movement during September 2025. According to the latest data released on September 11, the index rose to 35.4 from the previous figure of 32.7 recorded in August 2025.
This leap in the PCSI marks a notable improvement in consumer sentiment within a month. The index, which gauges consumers' perceptions and expectations on various fronts including personal financial standing, economic conditions, and investment opportunities, is often viewed as a predictive tool for economic health.
The September figures may suggest a recovery in Turkey’s economic climate, driven perhaps by recent policy adjustments or changes in market dynamics. This rise in consumer confidence could potentially stimulate higher consumer spending, acting as a positive catalyst for national economic performance in the coming months. As we monitor its trajectory, stakeholders and analysts will be keen to observe if this trend sustains in the long term, potentially signaling a stable economic turnaround for Turkey.
