In the latest economic sentiment update, the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) for Turkey has reported a slight downturn, recording a dip from 35.2 in November to 34.9 in December 2025. This update, dated December 11, 2025, signifies a cautious outlook within the nation as economic challenges persist.
The PCSI is a key indicator of consumer confidence, reflecting the sentiment of consumers regarding personal finances, economic expectations, and the capacity to make significant investments. This decrease indicates growing concern among Turkish consumers over their financial situations and the broader economic landscape.
Analysts suggest that the decline in sentiment could be attributed to various factors, including prevailing economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures that Turkey is currently facing. As the country grapples with these challenges, policymakers and economic stakeholders will need to strategize effective solutions to foster confidence and stability in the market. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether consumer sentiment will rebound or continue its downward trajectory.
