Turkey’s consumer inflation accelerated sharply in April, with the country’s month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 4.18%, more than double the 1.94% increase recorded in March 2026.

According to data updated on 4 May 2026, the April figure reflects a significant intensification in price pressures compared with the previous month. On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” reading for April measures the change in prices from March to April, while the “previous” 1.94% figure captures the change from February to March.

The steep month‑to‑month jump highlights a marked uptick in short‑term inflation dynamics in Turkey, underscoring that price growth in April was much faster than in the preceding month. Investors and policymakers will be closely watching subsequent releases to see whether this signals a temporary spike or a more persistent reacceleration in inflation.
