Deposits led real returns in Turkey in October, while government debt led annually
Turkey’s statistics agency compared how several investments performed after inflation.
Gross deposit interest had the highest real return in October, at 0.39% after consumer-price inflation and 1.31% after producer-price inflation.
The BIST 100 had the biggest October loss after inflation, falling 15.31% by the consumer-price measure.
Over three months, deposits led, while government debt securities gave the best return over six months.
Government debt securities led over the year, returning 4.04% after consumer-price inflation and 5.96% after producer-price inflation.
These figures show that the best-performing investment varied with the time period, and that inflation-adjusted returns differed from headline gains or losses.
