In a notable economic shift, Turkey's Consumer Price Index excluding Energy, Food, Beverages, Tobacco, and Gold (CPI Ex E,F,B,T&G) saw a decrease in its growth rate for December 2025. The indicator stood at 0.6%, a significant drop from the previous month’s 1.2% recorded in November 2025, according to updated data released on January 5, 2026.

The month-over-month analysis illustrates a slowing in the pace of price increases and suggests a potential stabilization in the domestic market. After contending with various economic pressures, including fluctuating global commodity prices and local economic policies, this deceleration could indicate the beginning of a trend towards more manageable inflation rates for key consumer goods, excluding the volatile categories of energy, food, beverages, tobacco, and gold.

Economists will likely examine these developments as a window into the health of Turkey's broader economic framework, taking into account the factors that may have contributed to this shift. This adjustment could provide policymakers with the opportunity to recalibrate strategies aimed at sustaining economic growth while maintaining consumer purchasing power.
