PICTURING TURKEY REPORT - GDP may have contracted by up to 5% y/y in 4Q18
• We observe that Turkey’s y/y GDP growth momentum has remained at around -5% y/y as of December, driven by a further decline in both consumption and investments, which seem to have dropped by some 7% and 14% y/y as of December, respectively. With the alleviating impact of net exports, we forecast that Turkey’s GDP may have contracted by up to 5% y/y in 4Q18. This would suggest a GDP growth of around 2% for full-year 2018, lower than the c.3% expectations. Indicators that we have as of today suggest some recovery on the investments side but no meaningful change in consumption, still indicating to mid-single digit GDP contraction momentum as of early 1Q19.
