Türkiye’s current account deficit narrowed to $4.19 billion (approximately 200.18 billion Turkish lira) in June, according to data released Thursday by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT). The figure was below market expectations, which had anticipated a deficit closer to $5 billion.

The Central Bank’s data showed that when excluding gold and energy, the current account registered a surplus of $1.46 billion for the month. The goods account reported a deficit of $8.53 billion, while the services sector posted a net surplus of $6.85 billion.

Within the services balance, revenues from travel services reached $4.86 billion, and transportation services contributed a surplus of $2.6 billion in June.

On an annualized basis, Türkiye’s current account deficit stood at $38.9 billion as of June 2026. The 12-month goods deficit amounted to $76.5 billion, contrasted with a services surplus of $63.7 billion. Primary income and secondary income balances recorded annual deficits of $24.2 billion and $2 billion, respectively.

Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek commented on the data, stating that the current account deficit is expected to remain at sustainable levels, despite ongoing pressures from increased energy and commodity prices.
