FX.co ★ Turkey’s August CPI Eases Slightly to 31.51% Year-on-Year

Turkey’s consumer price inflation edged down in August 2026, with the year-on-year CPI reading coming in at 31.51%, marginally lower than July’s 31.75%. The latest data, updated on 3 September 2026, suggest a slight moderation in price pressures but keep inflation at an elevated level by historical standards.

The August figure reflects a comparison of prices in August 2026 to those in August 2025, while the previous reading measured July 2026 against July 2025. The modest decline indicates that, although the pace of annual price increases has slowed, inflation remains a key challenge for policymakers and market participants tracking Turkey’s economic trajectory.
