Report for: June 2006May 2026

This is a period of galloping inflation and deep monetary shock. Average annual loss of buying power at the level of 18.9% makes keeping capital in national currency critically unprofitable. The total price growth of 32.02 times means a cardinal change in the cost of living and a drop in real purchasing power to 3%.

Calculation Methodology

Calculations are based on HICP Eurostat. It is a consumer price index that measures the average change in prices for goods and services purchased by the population.

Price Multiplier

Price Multiplier shows how many times prices have increased. In macroeconomics, this baseline metric is known as the Price Index Ratio. It is derived directly from official CPI data and serves as the mathematical foundation for all other calculations on this page.

Formula:
Price Multiplier(K)=CPI2026CPI2006\text{Price Multiplier} (K) = \frac{\text{CPI}_{2026}}{\text{CPI}_{2006}}
Calculation:
128.7304.020=32.0224\frac{128.730}{4.020} = 32.0224
Cumulative Inflation

To calculate the cumulative inflation since 2006, we use the following formula:

Formula:
(K1)×100=Cumulative(%)(K - 1) \times 100 = \text{Cumulative} (\%)
Calculation:
(32.02241)×100=3102.2%(32.0224 - 1) \times 100 = 3102.2\%
Average Inflation Rate

Shows the average annual price growth rate including compound interest (where each year's inflation is added to already increased prices). To calculate the average annual inflation for 20 years since 2006, we use the following formula:

Formula:
K1n1=Average Inflation RateK^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1 = \text{Average Inflation Rate}
n — number of years (20)
Calculation:
(32.02241/201)×100=18.9%(32.0224^{1/20} - 1) \times 100 = 18.9\%
Loss of Buying Power

To find out what share of its real value savings in TRY have lost since 2006, we calculate the percentage drop in purchasing power. Loss of buying power is calculated as an inverse proportion to price growth:

Formula:
(11K)×100=Loss of Buying Power(%)\left( 1 - \frac{1}{K} \right) \times 100 = \text{Loss of Buying Power} (\%)
Calculation:
(1132.0224)×100=96.9%\left( 1 - \frac{1}{32.0224} \right) \times 100 = 96.9\%
Equivalent Value

To calculate the equivalent value in terms of purchasing power in 2026, we multiply the initial value from 2006 by the price growth factor:

Formula:
Original Amount×K=Equivalent\text{Original Amount} \times K = \text{Equivalent}
Calculation:
100×32.0224=3,202 TRY100 \times 32.0224 = 3,202 \text{ TRY}
