Commerzbank Raporundan:
Conclusion
In other words, Erdogan has long been resigned to what he sees as a ‘second best’
outcome. He will no doubt try to find ways to move towards his ‘first best’ outcome whereby
domestic corporates and the government can borrow cheaply in future. To this extent, we
should expect frequent noise and grumbling. But we do not think that we can draw the
straight line from him becoming executive President to CBT rates falling immediately by 300-
400bps. The current MPC too likely views such a discontinuity only as a ‘worst case
scenario’ and not as a ‘base-case’.
In his interview, Erdogan said nothing we have not heard before. It would be a stretch to
claim that he confirmed anything new – he routinely confirmed all those things back at home
and repeatedly. We struggle to believe that there are any regular Turkey watchers who were
unaware (or had doubts) that Erdogan would take more direct control of economic policy.
Even when the snap election had not been announced, this was going to be a certainty by
2019.
For all these reasons, we hold on to our base-case that CBT will soon hike rates by 150-
300bps. In this scenario, we see the lira stabilising for a few quarters before resuming a
depreciation trend again next year. This does not mean that the worst case scenario of rates
being cut abruptly after June has negligible probability.
