Turkey's core inflation rate, excluding energy, food, beverages, tobacco, and gold, shows a slight decrease, according to the latest figures. In October 2025, the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered at 32.0% on a year-over-year basis, a reduction from the previous month's figure of 32.5% recorded in September 2025. This data was updated as of November 3, 2025.

Despite the modest decline, the core inflation rate remains significantly high, continuing to challenge the country's economic stability. The core inflation metric, which excludes volatile categories to provide a clearer picture of underlying inflation trends, highlights the persistent inflationary pressures Turkish consumers and businesses face.

The slight downturn in the core inflation rate indicates a stabilization attempt by the government and financial authorities to bring inflation under control. However, the need for strategic economic policies remains crucial to address and further reduce the inflationary burden in Turkey. This decrease represents a careful balance between optimism for controlling inflationary trends and caution against premature conclusions about Turkey's broader economic recovery.
