According to the compiled data from BKM, the shopping amount, which was 14 billion TL on April 1, rose to 28 billion TL on April 2.
INCREASE IN CARD SHOPPING ON APRIL 2
Approximately 55% of all card transaction volumes across the country pass through BKM, while transactions processed by banks in their own systems are shared with BKM by the relevant banks within 5 days. Therefore, the total card payment system data for April 2 can be reported as early as April 7. The graphs released by BKM were prepared based solely on shopping transaction data that occurred daily between 00:00 and 17:00, which passed through BKM. According to this data, it was observed that more transactions occurred on April 2 compared to April 1, the last day of the holiday, and that it was above the average for March 3-22.
Changes in transaction volumes may vary due to the intense shopping situation before the holiday, this week's school break, and the 9-day administrative leave, as well as weather conditions, but a healthier picture will be possible with the accumulated data in the coming days.
28 BILLION SHOPPING ON APRIL 2
According to the shared data, the daily shopping transaction amount was 28 billion TL on April 2 and 14 billion TL on April 1. In the data comparing Wednesday with the previous Wednesday, the transaction amount between 00:00 and 17:00 on Wednesday, April 2, was 28 billion TL, while it was 28.9 billion TL on March 26, 25.3 billion TL on March 19, 24.5 billion TL on March 12, and 27.3 billion TL on March 6. Thus, on Wednesday, April 2, a higher turnover was achieved compared to other Wednesdays in March, except for the Wednesday before the holiday.
