Turkey is neither an EU nor EEA/EFTA member, so the Eurostat quarterly datasets used for European pages don't cover it; these are IMF-WEO annual figures instead, which is why Turkey's fiscal charts update yearly rather than quarterly.
Data refreshed 2026-10-28. Figures are the latest published observations and can be revised.
