Turkey’s central government debt stock continued to rise in May 2026, edging up to 14,989.1 billion Turkish lira, according to data updated on 22 June 2026. The figure marks an increase from 14,765.3 billion lira recorded in April 2026.
The month‑on‑month gain underscores the ongoing expansion of Ankara’s borrowing needs, with the central government’s obligations adding over 200 billion lira in just one month. While the data release provides a snapshot of the headline debt stock, it will now be closely watched by investors and analysts tracking Turkey’s fiscal trajectory and its implications for funding costs and broader macroeconomic stability.
