IMF Staff Country Report-Turkey: Selected Issues

December 26, 2019--1. Turkey's economy has grown rapidly over the past decade, mainly by increasing inputs. With an average annual real growth of around 5½ percent over the last 10 years, Turkey has been one of the fastest growing economies in G20 and other larger emerging markets. However, growth has become more unbalanced. Strong post-2009 output growth has been largely due to increased capital accumulation, driven by construction investment activities and financed, in large part externally, and by rapid credit growth.

Labor inputs also contributed positively to growth, supported by a pick-up in female labor force participation-but its contribution appears to have leveled off in recent years. Over the same period, the high investment rate (greater than the neo-classical golden rule benchmark would suggest), together with high inflation and elevated private sector and external debt, point to past over-investment.1

Saga launches its cryptocurrency as Libra waits in the wings

December 18, 2019--December 18, 2019--Last week brought the launch of a new digital currency called Saga that has portrayed itself as the academic's answer to the cryptocurrency craze.

Saga first emerged in early 2018, but it has changed quite a lot since then. Many of those changes are telling when it comes to analysing the increasingly hostile regulatory climate for digital currencies, particularly so-called stablecoins that aim to rival more traditional currencies.

European Commission-Sustainable finance: Commission welcomes deal on an EU-wide classification system for sustainable investments

December 17, 2019--The European Commission has welcomed today's political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council on the creation of the world's first-ever "green list"-a classification system for sustainable economic activities, or taxonomy.

This will create a common language that investors can use everywhere when investing in projects and economic activities that have a substantial positive impact on the climate and the environment.

It will help scale up private and public investments to finance the transition to a climate-neutral and green economy, redirecting capital to economic activities and projects that are truly sustainable. This political agreement underlines the EU's commitment to implementing the Paris Agreement and reach climate-neutrality by 2050.

Non-performing loans' legacy versus secondary markets

December 10, 2019-Eleven years since the start of Europe's financial crisis, and the legacy of non-performing loans in the EU, though much smaller, is still a live issue for some member states.
No doubt success has been achieved as the asset quality of banks in the EU area has improved reaching 3% as of June 2019 (EBA Risk Dashboard-Q2 2019), compared with its peak of approximately 7.5% in 2012 (EBF).

The total stock of NPLs held by the banks reduced to EUR 636bn as of June 2019 (EBA Risk Dashboard-Q2 2019). This success has been mainly down to three developments:

Progress, as marked in Fourth Progress Report on the reduction of NPLs and further risk reduction in the Banking Union, on the Council of the EU's action plan including focus of the European Commission, European Central Bank, European Systemic Risk Board and European Banking Authority on the reduction of non-performing loans.
