Turkish consumer price inflation was 1.94% month-on-month in March, while the annual figure fell to 30.87%, data from the Turkish Statistical Institute showed on Friday.
In a Reuters poll, monthly inflation was forecast to be 2.32%, with the annual rate seen at 31.4%, driven by a rise in fuel prices and weather-related pressures on food inflation.
In February, consumer prices rose 2.96% month-on-month and 31.53% year-on-year, broadly in line with estimates and reinforcing expectations that the disinflation process may be stalling.
The data also showed the domestic producer index rose 2.30% month-on-month in March for an annual increase of 28.08%.
