October Inflation Rises: Annual CPI at 29.77%

According to October data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), annual consumer price inflation rose to 29.77% from 29.73% the previous month. Thus, inflation followed a limited upward trend on a monthly basis. The consumer and producer price indices announced by TÜİK revealed the picture of price movements for October. This increase in annual consumer inflation points to a rise of 0.04 points compared to September. The data show that the annual increase in consumer prices is hovering close to the 30% threshold. Producer price index data were also released for the same period; however, the source text does not include detailed rate information regarding producer prices. October inflation data are among the indicators closely watched for the outlook on price stability. The slight increase in annual consumer inflation compared to the previous month indicates that price pressures persist. Not investment advice.
