Turkey’s Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 2.30% month-over-month in March 2026, marking a slight deceleration from the 2.43% increase recorded in February 2026, according to data updated on 3 April 2026.

On a month-over-month basis, the March reading indicates that producer price pressures remain elevated but are easing marginally compared with the prior month. February’s 2.43% gain had reflected a faster pace of cost increases versus January, while March’s 2.30% suggests a modest cooling in the momentum of input and wholesale price growth.

The data, which compare each month’s change with the immediately preceding month, will be closely watched by markets for clues on how producer-level inflation might filter through to consumer prices and influence Turkey’s broader inflation trajectory and policy outlook.
