Turkey’s Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation inched higher in March 2026, with the year-over-year rate rising to 28.08%, according to data updated on 3 April 2026. This marks a slight acceleration from February 2026, when annual PPI inflation stood at 27.56%.
The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s producer prices with those of the same month a year earlier. Thus, the March 2026 reading of 28.08% reflects how much producer prices have increased compared to March of the previous year, while the February 2026 figure of 27.56% represents the change versus February a year earlier.
The uptick suggests that cost pressures at the producer level remain elevated and are still edging upward, a factor that can feed into consumer inflation and influence expectations for monetary and fiscal policy in the coming months.
