What the series shows
The 1990s were the harshest stretch of the archive, averaging 77.2% a year, and the most stable year was 1964, when the change stayed at 1.1%. Adding everything from 2000 to the end of the series, prices rose 8,563.9%; a TRY 100.00 purchase back then costs TRY 8,663.93 in 2025. Deflation, never: in every covered year prices ended the year higher.

Honest limits of these numbers
The yardstick is the World Bank consumer price index (FP.CPI.TOTL, base 2010 = 100), which sees the country as a single average and time in whole years. No legally binding adjustment should come out of this page: the reference is always the official local index, such as Brazil's IPCA or the American CPI-U. Here the Turkey series starts in 1960 and ends in 2025, 66 years in total, and every country has its own slice of the dataset. Amounts always come out in TRY, the current currency: past currency changes and dropped zeros are already embedded in the continuity of the index.
