2025.09.0307:00:00UTC+00Turkey's IPC Remains Steady in August: Consecutive Stability Signals Economic Balance

In an unexpected stasis for Turkey’s economy, the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI), excluding food, energy, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and gold (CPI Ex E,F,B,T&G), remained at 1.7% for August 2025. Following identical movement in July 2025, the indicator demonstrates a remarkable continuation of moderate inflation, as updated data revealed on September 3, 2025.

This steady pace, calculated on a month-over-month basis, reflects no change in the index from July to August, indicating a potential stabilization trend in Turkey’s underlying inflation pressures. The consistent 1.7% reading offers a lens into Turkey's economic environment, balancing inflationary dynamics in essential sectors outside the volatile realms of food and energy.

Economic analysts emphasize that this pattern of leveled indicators could signify both resilience and moderation within Turkey's strategies to maintain price stability. As markets and policymakers digest these figures, the steady hand of the CPI suggests that the monetary and economic policies in place might be effectively anchoring inflation expectations, even amidst the complexities of the global economic landscape.
