BGC Partners - TURKEY - GDP growth in 1Q19 came in at -2.6% y/y, in line with expectations…

Turkey’s GDP contracted by 2.6% y/y in 1Q19, in line with the -2.5% consensus forecast. It was widely expected for the GDP to have contracted y/y in 1Q19, but again as expected, GDP has indeed increased by 1.3% q/q in seasonally and calendar adjusted terms in 1Q19. This q/q growth follows three consecutive quarters of q/q contraction, indicating that Turkey has exited technical recession. Yet, we should note that preliminary indicators suggest a potential re-weakening in 2Q19. We currently maintain our full-year 2019 growth forecast of 0.2% y/y.
