The Central Bank of Türkiye has included the publication of the third Inflation Report 2026 in the calendar for August 13. Before the presentation is released, new figures cannot be attributed to the regulator, but it is already clear what parameters will be of practical importance for residents and investors.
What is known before publication
At its July 23 meeting, the central bank kept the one-week repo rate at 37%, the overnight lending rate at 40% and the borrowing rate at 35.5%. The regulator noted a limited decline in the main inflation trend in June, the risk of a temporary acceleration in July and weakness in domestic demand.
What numbers to watch
The main points of the report are the updated inflation forecast, the range of uncertainty, an assessment of domestic demand, energy prices and expectations. For households, this is a benchmark for deposits and loans; for business - according to the cost of financing; for real estate - according to mortgage demand and required yield.
Editorial Rule
Turkey Compass will update the material once the official report is published. Until then, any reports about an allegedly already announced new forecast should be considered unconfirmed. Decisions on currency, deposits or home buying cannot be based on just one headline: actual inflation, rates, investment horizon and personal spending pattern are important.
