WOOD Flash – Turkey macro: CBRT likely heading for single-digit rates

The Monetary Policy Committee at the CBRT decided to cut the policy rate (1W repo) again by 100bps to 12.00%, at the meeting held yesterday (22 September). The decision was in line with our expectations, but came as a surprise to the consensus, which expected no change. Monetary policy strategy has clearly been geared in favour of growth and to the detriment of inflation, and will likely remain so at least until next year’s elections, in our view. Given the emerging signs of slowdown amidst the gloomy external backdrop and, above all, the implicit electoral pledge of single-digit rates, we see a fair chance of rates being reduced below 10% in the next three-to-four months.
