Turkey’s year-end Consumer Price Index (CPI) forecast rose to 25.38% in March 2026, up from 24.11% in February, signaling a renewed uptick in inflation expectations as the first quarter of the year progresses.

The latest reading, updated on 13 March 2026, suggests that market or institutional projections for inflation at the end of the year have become slightly more pessimistic compared with the previous month. The shift from 24.11% in February to 25.38% in March indicates that inflationary pressures are expected to remain elevated and could be more persistent than previously anticipated.

The rise in the end-year CPI forecast for Turkey is likely to be closely watched by policymakers and financial markets, as it may influence future monetary policy decisions, borrowing costs, and investor sentiment toward Turkish assets.
