TurkStat: Turkey's official statistics

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat, in Turkish TÜİK) is Turkey's official statistics agency. It publishes the consumer price index, quarterly GDP, monthly labour force statistics, the Address Based Population Registration System results, birth, death and marriage statistics, house sales and the Income and Living Conditions Survey. Its website and data portal rely on JavaScript, and the central bank republishes its CPI series.

2. Use the base year noted in the CPI release when comparing index levels.
3. For population, quote the register date of 31 December.
