2026.04.1307:00:00UTC+00Turkey’s Retail Sales Slip into Negative Territory in February, Ending Growth Streak

Turkey’s retail sales turned negative in February 2026, marking a reversal after growth at the start of the year. Month-over-month retail sales fell by 0.2% in February, compared with a 2.4% increase in January 2026, according to data updated on 13 April 2026.

The figures show a clear loss of momentum in consumer activity: while January posted solid month-on-month growth, February’s decline indicates a cooling in retail demand. On a month-over-month basis, the latest “actual” figure reflects the change from January to February, whereas the “previous” figure captures the change from December 2025 to January 2026. The shift from 2.4% growth to a 0.2% contraction highlights growing pressure on Turkey’s retail sector as 2026 progresses.
