Turkey's Problems Appear to Be Ring-Fenced

March 27, 2019--Last year, Turkey's economic woes contributed to a febrile international climate that undermined investor confidence in emerging market currencies generally. While the lira's slump at the end of last week shows the nation's challenges persist, this time the issues are ring-fenced, making the drama a purely domestic affair. For now, at least.

There are two big differences that should prevent any new weakness in the lira from becoming contagious. The country's runaway inflation, which peaked at 25 percent, is now back below 20 percent and its huge current account deficit has all but disappeared.

Strong job creation reduced unemployment to a post‑crisis low of 6.2 percent, but wage rises remained subdued at 2.6 percent in 2018. Headline inflation at around the 2 percent target rate in 2017-18 partly reflected rising energy prices, but core CPIF inflation remained below target at an average rate of 1.5 percent in 2018, broadly unchanged from 2016. The Riksbank deferred its first interest rate increase until late 2018, raising the repo rate by 25 basis points to -0.25 percent, and the Swedish krona depreciated 4.3 percent in effective terms in 2018.

March 27, 2019--Banks running market share analysis from trade reports, but data quality hampering other projects
If Jerome Sabah had his way, any time a client changed their trading patterns, he would get a tap on the shoulder, so he could call them and find out what they need. Data, he says, could give him that tap.

"Let's say an investor trades something on a regular basis and I define a series of something relevant -trading times, amounts or instruments," says Sabah, global head of rates, credit and forex sales for financial institutions at Societe Generale. "Any time that series diverges by 50%, I'd....
