This is stated in the report of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) on the consumer price index for June 2026.
"Of the 174 five-digit subgroups of the COICOP classification covered by the index, prices decreased in 26 subgroups, remained unchanged in 10, and increased in 138 subgroups in June 2026," the report says.
According to TurkStat, the core consumer price index (CPI-B), which excludes unprocessed food, energy, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and gold, rose by 1.7% month-on-month. Since the beginning of 2026, the indicator has increased by 16.8%, and the average over the last 12 months was 31.5%.
Meanwhile, inflation remains one of the key indicators determining Turkey's economic policy. The country's central bank continues to adhere to a tight monetary policy aimed at restoring price stability and anchoring inflation expectations, while financial markets closely monitor consumer price index data for signals regarding future interest rate decisions and the state of domestic demand.
At the same time, inflation dynamics continue to reflect overall economic activity, including trade, industrial production, and transport services, which remain important factors in price formation in the Turkish economy. As the country strengthens its position as a regional production and logistics hub, transport corridors are becoming an increasingly significant factor supporting commercial activity and cross-border trade.
