Turkey's Producer Price Index (PPI) in December 2025 marked a slight increase, continuing to fuel concerns over persistent inflationary pressures within the country. According to the latest data updated on January 5, 2026, the PPI rose to 27.67% in December, up from 27.23% in November of the same year. This year-over-year measurement underscores ongoing economic challenges faced by the Turkish economy.

The climb in the PPI indicates that the cost of goods at the wholesale level continues to rise, reflecting increased production costs that could potentially translate to higher prices for consumers. With November's figures previously set at 27.23%, the minor yet steady uptick in December may signal further financial strain for both producers and consumers in Turkey.

As inflation concerns continue to loom large, the Turkish government and its central bank are likely to face pressure to implement strategies to stabilize prices and reinvigorate the economy. The latest PPI figures serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in balancing growth with inflation control as Turkey navigates the evolving economic landscape.
