The World Economic Outlook (WEO) report is a fundamental resource published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), typically in April and October of each year with interim updates in January and July, designed to comprehensively analyze global economic trends, macroeconomic risks, and future expectations. By examining critical indicators such as growth rates, inflation, current account balances, and employment at both the global and national levels, this report provides strategic guidance on the trajectory of the global economy to policymakers, investors, and institutions. The primary objective of the report is to diagnose the economic conditions of countries and guide global policy measures against potential crises.
Real GDP Growth Projections of Selected Countries
According to the report published in April 2026, the Turkish economy is projected to maintain its growth trend while simultaneously recording a significant decline in inflation during the 2025-2028 period. Based on the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth Projections graph (Graph-1), Turkiye is expected to exhibit stable growth during this period with rates approaching the 4% level, outperforming the average of emerging and developing European countries, as well as neighboring economies such as Russia, Hungary, and Serbia.
Türkiye's Consumer Price Index Projection
Furthermore, the Consumer Price Index graph (Graph-2) indicates that the downward trend in inflation, which became evident in 2025, will stabilize. Accordingly, the rate of increase in consumer prices is projected to follow a gradual downward trend, retreating to the 17% level by 2028. In summary, the IMF data presents a clear picture that in the upcoming period, Turkiye will achieve growth that surpasses regional averages while simultaneously executing a resolute disinflation process.
