FX.co ★ Turkey’s Retail Sales Growth Cools to 7.7% in September, Easing From Double-Digit Pace

Turkey’s retail sales growth slowed in September 2026, rising 7.7% year-over-year compared with a 10.1% increase in August, according to data updated on 11 November 2026.

The figures, measured on an annual basis, show that while consumer activity continued to expand, the pace of growth has moderated from the double-digit rate recorded a month earlier. The August reading reflected a 10.1% increase versus August 2025, while September’s 7.7% print compares sales in September 2026 with those in September 2025.

The deceleration in September suggests some cooling in domestic demand after a stronger summer period, and will likely be monitored closely by investors and policymakers assessing the momentum of Turkey’s consumer-driven growth.
