2026.06.3007:00:00UTC+00Turkey’s Trade Deficit Widens Marginally in May to $5.61 Billion

Turkey’s trade balance showed a slight deterioration in May 2026, with the deficit edging down to $5.61 billion from a previously recorded $5.60 billion for the same month, according to the latest data updated on 30 June 2026.

The near-unchanged figure suggests that Turkey’s external trade dynamics remained broadly stable over the period, with import and export flows moving in a way that kept the overall gap almost flat. While the change is minimal, the persistence of a sizable deficit highlights ongoing structural pressures in Turkey’s trade position and the continued reliance on foreign goods and inputs.

Market participants and policymakers will be watching forthcoming monthly data to see whether this marginal widening marks the start of a new trend or simply reflects short-term fluctuations in trade activity during May 2026.
