WOOD Flash – Turkey macro: BoP consolidation going according to plans

The August current account data showed a surplus of USD 2.6bn, a great improvement relative to the deficit of USD 0.9bn a year earlier and in line with our model projections. We see the balance of risk as biased towards further depreciation as, in our view, the markets are not yet fully pricing in the global downturn and the contraction in Turkey, which we see as plausible, given the recent developments. However, we note that non-residents’ positioning in the local bond market may have hit the 2009 low by now, which suggests that the conditions for a more favourable trend for the local bond market are building.
