FX.co ★ Turkey’s Core Inflation Holds Steady in October, Signaling Pause in Underlying Price Pressures

Turkey’s core consumer price index excluding energy, food, beverages, tobacco and gold (CPI Ex E,F,B,T&G) rose 2.1% month-over-month in October 2026, unchanged from the 2.1% increase recorded in September 2026.

The data, updated on 3 November 2026, show that the pace of underlying price growth remained stable on a month-over-month basis. The “actual” October reading of 2.1% reflects the change from September 2026, while the “previous” 2.1% figure captures the change in September relative to August.

The back-to-back identical monthly readings suggest that, at least over this short comparison horizon, underlying inflationary pressures in Turkey neither accelerated nor eased between September and October, offering policymakers and markets a clearer, if still elevated, picture of core price dynamics.
