2026.05.1807:00:00UTC+00Turkey’s Consumer Confidence Inches Higher in May, Signalling Tentative Improvement

Turkey’s consumer confidence index posted a marginal uptick in May 2026, suggesting a slight improvement in sentiment among households while still remaining deep in pessimistic territory.

According to the latest data updated on 18 May 2026, the consumer confidence indicator edged up to 85.8 in May from 85.5 in April 2026. Although the increase is modest, it breaks the prior month’s level and points to a cautious stabilisation in consumer expectations.

With the index remaining below the neutral 100 mark, the figures indicate that Turkish consumers are still generally pessimistic about their financial outlook and the broader economy. Nonetheless, the incremental rise may be seen by markets as a sign that the recent pressure on household sentiment is easing slightly, pending future data releases to confirm a more durable trend.
