2026.01.1511:00:00UTC+00Economic Sentiment in Turkey Sees Slight Decline in January, Reports Thomson Reuters IPSOS

In the latest indication of fluctuating consumer confidence, the Turkey Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) has recorded a modest dip, reflecting changes in economic sentiment. As updated on January 15, 2026, the index for January 2026 fell to 34.6 from 34.9 in December 2025.

This subtle decline suggests that Turkish consumers may be experiencing heightened uncertainty or concerns regarding the economic environment, which can often influence purchasing intentions, job security sentiments, and personal financial outlooks. As consumer sentiment remains a key indicator of the overall economic atmosphere, even fractional movements in the index can have wide-reaching implications for both domestic and foreign investors.

With ongoing global economic shifts, monitoring changes in the PCSI could offer valuable insights into future consumer behavior and potential economic adjustments. Policymakers and business leaders alike will likely keep a close eye on this data to strategize appropriately in an evolving economic landscape.
