Turkish households' preference for gold increased in August, while the share considering real estate investments declined, according to a survey by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) Monday.
The survey showed that 41.3% of respondents said they would buy gold, up 1 percentage point from the previous month. Gold was the most preferred investment option among those surveyed.
By contrast, the share of respondents who said they would buy a home, shop or land fell 1.4 percentage points to 37.1%.
Real estate and gold have for years been traditional investment options for Turks seeking to safeguard themselves against stubborn inflation.
Türkiye's annual consumer price inflation eased to 31.75% in July 2026, down from 32.11% in June.
