FX.co ★ Turkey Consumer Confidence Improves Slightly

Turkey’s consumer confidence index inched up to 85.5 in April 2026 from 85.0 a month earlier. The increase was driven by improved expectations for households’ financial situation over the next twelve months, which rose to 87.5 from 85.6, and by stronger intentions to purchase durable goods, with that sub-index climbing to 104.4 from 102.7. These trends point to some resilience in big‑ticket spending. However, perceptions of current household finances deteriorated, slipping to 71.8 from 72.8, and expectations for the general economic situation over the coming year weakened to 78.3 from 79.1. Despite the slight uptick, the overall index remains below the neutral 100 mark, signaling that consumer sentiment is still predominantly pessimistic.
