Turkey’s Economic Confidence Index declined in October 2026, slipping below the neutral 100 threshold and signaling a deterioration in overall sentiment across the economy. The index fell to 97.30 in October from 101.30 in September 2026.
The move from positive to negative territory suggests that optimism among consumers and businesses has softened compared with the previous month. While the data do not reveal specific drivers behind the shift, the drop indicates growing caution over Turkey’s near-term economic outlook.
The latest reading, updated on 30 October 2026, will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess confidence trends heading into the final months of the year.
