Turkey’s annual retail sales growth slowed in July 2026, with the year-over-year increase easing to 10.4%, down from 11.5% in June 2026. The data, updated on 11 September 2026, reflect a moderation in consumer activity compared with the same period a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the corresponding month in the prior year. While retail sales are still expanding, the latest figures indicate a deceleration in the pace of growth, suggesting that consumer demand may be losing some momentum as the summer progresses. Investors and analysts will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this slowdown continues or stabilizes in the coming months.
