TURKEY/ECONOMY: Confidence Crashes Below the Optimism Threshold
Türkiye's economic confidence index plunged 3.9% m/m to 97.3 in October, down from 101.3 in September—one of the sharpest monthly declines in recent months.
Consumer confidence suffered the biggest blow, falling 7.7% to 84.8. Manufacturing confidence declined 1.4%, while services slipped 2.4%. Retail and construction confidence edged higher.
COMMENT: Could the Fund Scandal be responsible? Consumer confidence appears to have been affected by the crisis, but I see little evidence of its impact in the other components. The timing is suggestive, not conclusive.
Türkiye's economic mood has turned pessimistic.

TURKEY/Where Romance Is Cheap to Buy—But Hard to Afford
Deutsche Bank's 2026 dating index ranks Istanbul as the cheapest of 28 European cities at €168, versus €407 in Geneva and €400 in Zurich.
But affordability tells a different story.
A date costs just 5.6% of average monthly net pay in Zurich, compared with 16.7% in Istanbul and 19.6% in Athens.
The basket includes dinner, drinks, cinema, transport—and clothing.
Romance is cheap in Istanbul. Paying for it isn't.
