Turkey’s consumer confidence index rose to 85.7 in February 2026 from 83.7 in January, reaching its highest level since March 2025. Assessments of households’ current financial situation strengthened, with this sub-index increasing to 71.3 from 68.2 in January. Expectations for households’ financial outlook over the next twelve months also improved notably, climbing to 86.8 from 83.3. Households’ willingness to spend on durable goods increased more modestly, with the corresponding index edging up to 103.2 from 101.9, indicating a gradual recovery in purchasing intentions. By contrast, expectations for the general economic situation over the coming year were broadly unchanged, slipping marginally to 81.4 from 81.5. Despite these gains, the overall index remained below the 100 threshold, signaling that consumer confidence is still in negative territory and continues to reflect a predominantly pessimistic outlook.
