Executive Summary

Economic policies implemented during and after the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to rapid growth in Türkiye initially, but also led to high inflation, a widening current account deficit, and currency depreciation.

The new government began a normalization process in 2023 by tightening monetary policy, leading to higher interest rates and inflation. Despite this, the economy experienced a slowdown in growth.

Looking ahead, inflation is expected to gradually decline but will remain high in the short term. Opportunities for structural reforms—particularly in disaster management and green investment—are highlighted, alongside persistent risks such as external imbalances and vulnerabilities in the corporate sector.

I. Taking Stock

Overview of Economic Performance

Growth in GDP:

2022 GDP Growth: 5.5%. Growth slowed from 2022 H2 to 4.5% in 2023.
Contribution of Private Consumption: Driven by wage increases and cheap credit, but moderated in 2023 H2 due to policy tightening and reduced credit growth.

Current Account Deficit:

Increased in 2022: Reaching $49.1 billion.
Remained High in 2023: Narrowed slightly to about $45.5 billion due to gold import restrictions, but the deficit was influenced by declining foreign reserves and rising external financing needs.

Inflation:

Peaked in October 2022 at 85.5%:
Subsequently fell to 38.2% in June 2023, but resurged to 67.1% in February 2024.
Services Inflation: Remains particularly sticky and challenging to reduce.

Corporate Vulnerability and Financial Sector:

Corporate vulnerability decreased in 2022–2023 due to low borrowing costs and high demand.
Tightening policy led to stronger loan conditions, potentially increasing vulnerability in 2024.

Fiscal Balance:

Surplus Deteriorated in 2023: Primary deficit widened, financed through domestic borrowing.
Earthquake-related expenditures contributed to deficits, along with rigid public spending.

II. Looking Ahead

Macroeconomic Normalization

Monetary and Fiscal Policies:

Tightening monetary policy: Aimed at anchoring inflation through higher interest rates.
Fiscal consolidation: Targeting lower deficits through targeted spending and tax increases.

Growth and Debt:

GDP growth is projected between 3.0%–4.3%, declining in 2024–2025 before recovering moderately.
External financing requirements are expected to remain high, limiting policy space.

Corporate Vulnerability:

Vulnerability is projected to rise due to slowing growth, higher borrowing costs, and currency depreciation.
Micro enterprises appear more sensitive to interest rate changes.

III. Corporate Vulnerability and Linkages to the Financial Sector

Key Risks associated with corporate financial health translate into greater non-performing loans for banks.
Exposure differs by firm size: Micro enterprises are more vulnerable to interest rate hikes, while larger firms face exchange rate risk.
Financial Sector Stability: High corporate vulnerability may strain banks’ loan portfolios, especially for micro-sized enterprises.
