The annual inflation rate in Turkey accelerated for the 12th consecutive month to 73.5 percent in May of 2022, the highest since October of 1998 and compared to market estimates of 76.6 percent. It contrasts with a much lower 16.6 percent from the corresponding period of the previous year, as the lira plunged further during the month and real interest rates remained largely negative. Main upward pressure came from food and non-alcoholic beverages (91.6 percent vs 89.1 percent in April), and transportation (107.6 percent vs 105.9 percent), largely due to surging prices for energy (121.1 percent vs 118.2 percent) amid the war in Ukraine. Costs also significantly rose for housing and utilities (63.5 percent vs 61.1 percent), furnishings and household equipment (82.1 percent vs 77.6 percent), and hotels, cafes, and restaurants (76.8 percent vs 69.3 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 3 percent. source: Turkish Statistical Institute
