Turkey's annual inflation rate fell to 29.73% in September, the lowest since November 2021, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK). Monthly inflation was recorded at 1.84%. This decline in inflation opens the possibility for the Turkish Central Bank to consider a 200 basis point interest rate cut by the end of the year, as noted by experts. The reduction in inflation could influence consumer spending and pricing strategies across various sectors.

Dollar/TL hits new record amid inflation and Fed expectations
The Turkish lira weakened further against the dollar, reaching a new record low as markets reacted to the recently announced September inflation figures and anticipated decisions from the US Federal Reserve. The ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting oil prices and inflation continue to drive demand for the dollar, according to Cumhuriyet. This currency depreciation impacts import costs and could pressure inflation further.
Impact Importers face higher costs as the dollar strengthens against the lira, affecting pricing and margins.

G7 releases oil reserves, Brent crude price drops
