Contrary to Expectations Domestic Demand Has Not Bottomed

Out in 3Q12…

GDP growth figure for the last quarter of 2012 surprised us as it

pointed out that economy has not bottomed out in 3Q12

contrary to expectations. Yet, GDP growth rate (yoy) was only

1.4% in 4Q12, below 1.6% realization the quarter before and on

seasonal adjusted terms, there was no growth in the economic

activity compared to the quarter before. Accordingly, annual

growth rate declined sharply to 2.2% in 2012 from 8.8% in 2011.

Growth in Turkey was totally driven by external demand, while

domestic demand contracted in all quarters of 2012. Compared

to the third quarter, the contribution from external demand fell

only slightly and the negative contribution from domestic

demand remained almost stable. If we divide domestic demand

into public and private expenditures, the story is completely

different. The contraction in both private consumption and

investment expenditures deepened in 4Q12, lowering GDP

growth rate by 2.5 points. On the other hand, public expenditures

accelerated contributing by 1.8 points to GDP growth. The

changes in stocks caused 0.9 point fall in GDP growth, almost

similar to the quarter before. (page 4)

As we mentioned in our last report, signals for the economic

recovery are moderate in 1Q13 and mainly in consumption

indicators. In addition, there is no clear improvement in

investment expenditures. However, as most of the indicators were

already pointed out a bottoming out in 4Q12, the magnitude of

the strengthening in the domestic demand in 1Q13 became hard

to estimate.

Considering our 2013 growth rate estimate of 4.8%, the risks are

tilted to the downside as of April. Weak economic activity in the

world, especially in Europe is the most important risk on our

estimate. Recent foreign trade statistics indicated that the

contribution from external demand is likely to fall sharply as of

the first quarter of 2013 (graph 44). Due to still contracting

Eurozone economies and narrowing demand from MENA

countries it is getting hard to increase our export market share

in the international market.

In its latest Monetary Policy Committee Meeting note, the CBT

also stressed the worsening in exports. We think the rate cut in

interest rates are mainly aiming to support exporters through

containing appreciation pressure on TL (graph53). However, in

a world of excessive global liquidity (especially to be seen after

BoJ actions), ongoing problems in advanced economies and

positive perceptions regarding Turkish economy, it could be

hard to depreciate TL. Even if TL depreciates as aimed, it might

not lead an acceleration in exports due to weak global

economic activity.

Above mentioned developments pointed out rebalancing of

the economy happened in 2012 is likely to come to an end as

of 1Q13. Only moderate domestic demand recovery and

falling commodity prices would contain the widening in current

account deficit if continues in the rest of the year. Otherwise, it

would be hard to keep financial stability concerns from

escalating.

Inflation- Higher Than Expected March CPI due to High Food Prices…

Graph 2: Contributors to March CPI

Source: CBT

In March, CPI rose by 0.66%, higher than 0.42% market expectations, pushing annual inflation up to 7.29% from 7.03%. PPI monthly inflation which fell in the previous 3 months rose in March by 0.81%, leading annual PPI to increase to 2.3% from 1.8% the month before.

Annual food price inflation increased sharply to 8.3% from 5.5% the month before. Annual unprocessed food inflation accelerated to 6.8% from 1.9% while annual processed food inflation to 8.7% from 8.4% in March.

The reason behind the higher than expected realization was food prices, contributing 0.5 point to headline inflation. Clothing prices contribution was 0.1 point in March, while there was no major contribution from other sub groups.

Annual core inflation fell only slightly to 5.80% in March from 5.82% in February. The seasonally adjusted core inflation as CBT follows to indicate the trend of core inflation fell from 5.9% in February to 5.6% in March.

In March, inflation outlook much slightly improved for non-food items compared to the previous month if the CBT’s inflation diffusion index was considered.

Graph 7: Nominal FX Rates

Graph 9: TL’s Performance Compared to EM Currencies

Source: CBT Source: Reuters, Garanti Bank calculations

In nominal terms, TL appreciated against USD by 1.2% and remained unchanged against Euro, as of 17th of April on monthly basis; while the appreciation of TL against the currency basket was 0.5% in the same period.

Even if TL slightly depreciated against the currency basket compared to the average of major emerging market currencies after CBT’s rate cuts, as of 18th of April TL appreciated on average compared to March signaling the REER could easily surpass the reference level of 120.

Graph 11: Spread Between 2-Year Swap Rates and Benchmark Graph 12: Yield Curve

The yield curve shifted downwards apparently in both ends by mid-April as a result of CBT rate cuts and reaccelerating capital inflows.

The spread between 2-year swap rate and benchmark bond rate had rose above 0.8 points with the rapid rise in benchmark toward the end of March. The 2-year swap rate fell below 4.7% and the spread to 0.6 points as of 18th of April.

Graph 10: Benchmark Bond Yield

After benchmark bond yield remarkably increased above 6.3% due to the concerns regarding Cyprus bail-out plan toward the end of March, it fell below 5.7% levels with CBT rate cut expectations. After the rate cut, yield fell to historic lows below 5.6%.

Graph 8: CPI Based Real Exchange Rates (2003=100)

In real terms, TL appreciated by 0.6% against currencies of advanced economies and depreciated by 1% against emerging market currencies in March. TL’s appreciation against currency basket was 0.2%, pushing the index level slightly up to 119.95.

We expect central budget deficit to GDP ratio to remain at 2.0% in 2013.

Interest burden on central budget declined to the lowest levels in early 2013.

Tax on imports jumped significantly, being one of the highest tax increase in 1Q13. Special Consumption Tax revenues decelerated in March, however, continued to stay at high levels.

The growth rate of tax revenues continued to be above budget targets in March. The acceleration is more evident in indirect tax revenues.

The momentum of the growth rate of non-interest expenditures slowed down in March.

On a 12 month cumulative basis, the growth rate of revenues (14%) was slightly lower than the growth rate of expenditures (15%) as of March. Budget deficit was TL 23.3 bln.

Graph 53: Interest Rates

CBT continued to lower its funding via monthly repo auctions and did not increase its funding much via weekly repo auctions toward the end of March. Hence, CBT’s funding fell below the one third of total funding as of 18th of April compared to its level of almost half of total funding in February.

All monetary indicators’ year on year growth rates accelerated in March, they all continued to increase remarkably above the annual CPI.

In its last meeting, CBT lowered short term interest rates by 50 basis points by indicating that the proper policy would be to keep interest rates low while increasing foreign currency reserves via macro prudential measures .

Graph 54: Reserve Option Coefficients (ROC)

As a result of its stance to keep financial stability against increasing global risks, the CBT led the excess liquidity held by banks to fall to the levels before the 2nd half of 2012 when the CBT squeezed market liquidity. On 29th of March, primary dealers borrowed from the upper bound for the first time since August’12.
