Turkey’s Producer Price Index (PPI) growth eased slightly in February 2026, offering a modest sign of cooling cost pressures in the industrial sector. Month-over-month, PPI rose 2.43% in February, down from a 2.67% increase recorded in January 2026, according to data updated on 3 March 2026.
On a month-over-month basis, the February reading indicates that producer prices are still rising at a robust pace, but the deceleration from January suggests a marginal softening in upstream inflation. The comparison is based on changes from one month to the next: February’s figure reflects price movements relative to January, while January’s figure measured changes versus December.
While still elevated, the slower monthly gain in producer prices may provide some tentative relief for businesses grappling with input costs and could, over time, feed into a more moderate inflation outlook if the trend continues. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data closely to see whether February marks the start of a more sustained easing in cost pressures.
