Türkiye's annual inflation eases to 30.89% at year-end 2025

Türkiye's annual inflation rate showed a marginal decline at the close of 2025, easing to 30.89% in December from 31.07% the previous month, according to official data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat). The figures align with market expectations and reflect continued disinflationary trends over the year.

Sectoral Breakdown and Contributions

The highest annual price increases were recorded in housing at 49.45%, followed by transportation at 28.44%, and food and non-alcoholic beverages at 28.31%. These three groups were the largest contributors to the overall annual inflation rate, with housing adding 7.52 percentage points, food and non-alcoholic beverages 7.07 points, and transportation 4.36 points. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.89% in December, a slight increase from the 0.87% monthly rise in November.

Yearly Average Shows Significant Improvement

The 12-month average inflation rate for 2025 stood at 34.88%, marking a substantial decrease from the 2024 average of 58.51%. This progress underscores the effectiveness of the government's tightening monetary policy and fiscal measures aimed at stabilizing prices and restoring economic balance. The continued deceleration is a positive signal for the economy as it moves into the new year, though authorities remain focused on further anchoring inflation expectations and achieving sustained price stability.
