In August 2025, Turkey experienced a rise in its annual producer inflation rate, reaching 25.16%, up from 24.19% in July. This represents the highest inflation level seen since February.

Further inflationary pressures were seen in the supply of electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning, where costs increased by 26.68% from 22.10%, largely due to the rising costs associated with electricity and gas, as well as services related to electricity transmission and distribution, which climbed to 19.74% from 18.07%. Conversely, water supply costs saw a marginally slower rise, increasing by 55.35% as opposed to 55.74% in July.
