Turkey’s retail sales rose 10.4% year-on-year in July 2026, slowing from a downwardly revised 11.5% in June and marking the weakest annual growth since March 2025. The slowdown was led by softer growth in other household equipment at specialized stores, other goods at specialized stores, non-specialized stores, and trade outside stores, stalls and markets. Growth accelerated for food, beverages and tobacco; automotive fuel; information and communication equipment; cultural and recreation goods; and sales through stalls and markets. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, retail sales increased 0.2%, easing from 0.5% in June.
