Turkey Economic Outlook – 1Q 2018

Key messages

1. The global demand continues to improve with better forecasts

for the US, China and the Eurozone, while the policy

normalization of global central banks is ongoing

2. The policy impulse and the resilience of the economy pushed

the Turkish economy to strong growth dynamics. We expect

GDP growth to reach 7% in 2017 and moderate towards 4.5%

this year

3. The labor market is finally benefiting from strong growth while

the degree of slack in the economy is dying out

4. Inflation will remain high during most of the year on inertia,

robust domestic demand and lagged effects of exchange rate

depreciation. It will moderate to 9% at the end of 2018

5. The Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) will maintain the tight

stance waiting for clearer signs of disinflation and expectations

to ease. The fiscal policy will remain accommodative in 2018

6. Current account deficit should be monitored as it is already

above 5% of GDP and the pick up in investment and the new

oil prices scenario pose some upward risks

Turkey Economic Outlook – 1Q 2018

Global growth consolidates & monetary policy normalization is ongoing

01 Projections for the U.S., China

and Eurozone improve

There is less uncertainty in the

short run

02 More positive perspectives for

emerging economies

Better global demand and higher

commodity prices

03 Greater caution in financial

markets

Expectations of less liquidity

might reduce flows to emerging

economies

04 Central Banks continue progressing

towards normalization

Motifs to withdraw stimulus are

materializing in the midst of a

contained core inflation

05 Global risks

Less significant in the short run;

without changes in medium to

long run

World GDP growth (Forecasts based on BBVA-GAIN, % QoQ)

supported by the recovery of the industrial sector

Confidence indicators continue to improve, and

anticipate the outlook will continue to be positive

A weaker Phillips Curve but still something to monitor

7

Reduction in the economies’ output gap, but with

room to grow without strong inflationary

pressures

Less price reaction to the increase in activity, for

several reasons:

• Globalisation

• Increased flexibility in the labour market

• Low inflationary expectations

• Reduced productivity growth

The increase in the price of oil will push up

inflation in the short term, facilitating central

banks to move towards normalisation in

developed economies

A better outlook for emerging economies but also for oil prices

The increase in oil prices reflects a greater

global demand, which would account for 60% of

such increase

But this is also due to supply factors, linked to

geopolitical risks and the correction of

inventories

Positive and significant impact on emerging

economies that produce raw materials

However, we still expect prices to converge to

$60 per barrel in the medium term, due to

increased competition and structural changes in

the energy sector

Tightening cycle and reduction of

the balance in progress

Estimated rise of 75pbs in 2018 to

2.25% and reduction of the balance

by 500,000 million dollars

QE reduction, but extension

until September 2018

No rate hikes are expected

until 2019

Focus: avoid sudden

acceleration of long-term rates Focus:

gain room for manoeuvre

Monetary policy normalization: accelerated in the case of the Fed,

gradual in the case of the ECB

• Macro : possible

• Politics: changes in

The Credit Guarantee Fund (CGF) has proved to be an efficient

counter-cyclical tool, but not a “free lunch”

The Effects of a “Credit Supply Shock” to the Economy* (Shock of CGF, 5 times standard deviation in loans shock. Variables in 3-Month Moving Average)

* See the detailed analysis in the following link

Source: BBVA Research

The CGF had a positive contribution to growth

between 1.0-1.5pp in 2017 with a somewhat

delayed impact on inflation once the domestic

demand side of the economy reacted

There is some uncertainty about the magnitude

of the negative/positive base effect in 2018

depending on the allocation of remaining funds,

the roll-over of last year´s program or the

existence of new programs

The economic outlook will also matter.

Household and Corporate demand and Banks’

willingness to supply also depend on the

macroeconomic conditions surrounding the

program

Strong nominal growth boosted revenues supporting a better than

expected Central Government deficit of 1.5% of GDP in 2017

Budget and Primary Balance (% GDP, *4Q GDP data is a forecast)

We expect some deterioration in fiscal balance

on the back of lower nominal revenues and

some upward pressures on expenditures

Better than expected budget deficit in 2017

opens the door for more fiscal consolidation

However, we think that the Government will

stick to the programmed Medium Term Plan

given some pressures on some expenditure

items (i.e defence and security)

GDP Forecasts (YoY)

Strong growth set to moderate but with balanced risks

Economic growth will moderate as last year´s

stimuli fade away. We expect GDP to grow

4.5% in 2018 after the extraordinary growth

rate of 2017 at 7.0%

A positive outlook of the global economy, a

sustained recovery of non-residential private

investment and a new round of policy stimulus

pose risks on the upside

A more aggressive than expected Global

Monetary Policy normalization and Geopolitical

risks pose risks on the downside

CBRT target

Inflation will start to moderate soon (1Q) but

will remain near 10% until 4Q before ending

the year at 9.0%

Risks are balanced. Exchange rate

depreciation lower than expected and

structural measures to reduce food price

volatility may result in positive surprises

Higher oil prices, strong inertia and new

exchange rate shocks from global &

geopolitical factors may pose upside risks

Turkey Economic Outlook – 1Q 2018

The CBRT will maintain the current policy unless a new shock arises.

Exchange rate will depreciate more moderately.
