The monthly rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), also known as TÜFE, stood at 1.53%, signaling a continued yet decelerating upward pressure on consumer prices compared to previous months.
Inflation Trends in Focus
While the monthly increase in inflation remained moderate, the year-over-year inflation rate of 35.41% highlights persistent price pressures in Türkiye’s economy. The May data aligns with broader economic expectations of a gradual disinflation path, as monetary tightening and fiscal measures continue.
Context and Implications
The inflation data comes at a critical time as policymakers, businesses, and households grapple with cost-of-living concerns, interest rate impacts, and wage adjustment debates. The figures also play a vital role in guiding Central Bank decisions on future rate policies.
With food, housing, and transportation remaining among the top contributors to inflation, analysts suggest structural reforms and supply-side strategies are key to stabilizing prices long-term.
