Turkey Current Account Surplus Reaches 2.72 Billion Dollars in September

Key Facts

Turkey's current account recorded a surplus of 2.72 billion dollars in September 2026. Newsquawk reported that the surplus narrowed from the previous reading of 4.053 billion dollars. The narrowing is attributed to seasonal fluctuations in tourism inflows and the ongoing costs of energy imports.

The data follows other positive economic indicators, including a 2.6% year-on-year increase in Turkish industrial production reported on November 10, 2026, which improved from a previous contraction of 1.7%. A sustained current account surplus is considered a supportive factor for the stability of the Turkish Lira and the central bank's reserve accumulation efforts.
