Turkey’s retail sales volume rose 10.1% in August from a year earlier

Turkey’s statistical agency released trade sales figures for August 2026.

Retail sales volume was 10.1% higher than in August 2025 and rose 1.4% from July.

The figures measure the volume of sales, rather than stating how much money retailers took in.

Overall trade sales volume increased 0.6% from a year earlier and 0.2% from the previous month.

Sales involving motor vehicles and motorcycles, including repairs, fell 11.2% year on year, while wholesale sales fell 1.9%.

The figures show retail sales growing while those other parts of trade declined.

The release gives no further outlook or next steps.
