IMF-Turkey: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2018 Article IV Mission
February 16, 2018--Following a slowdown in activity in 2016, growth recovered sharply last year with the help of policy stimulus and favorable external conditions. Such has been the strength of the recovery that the economy now faces signs of overheating: a positive output gap, inflation well above target, and a wider current account deficit.
This increases Turkey's potential exposure to changing global conditions and underscores the need to address vulnerabilities. To lower internal and external imbalances, staff recommends a recalibrated policy mix-further monetary tightening is warranted, as is careful management of fiscal and quasi-fiscal policies, as well as associated contingent liabilities. Macroprudential policies need to be squarely focused on maintaining financial stability and adequate buffers. Targeted structural reform implementation would underpin growth.
Recent developments, outlook and risks
1. Growth was very strong last year, with some moderation expected in 2018. In 2017, a sizeable credit impulse-driven by state loan guarantees-and fiscal policy supported the economy, at a time when domestic demand seemed anemic.

inflation and bond yields have the potential to reverse the equity bull market of 2017.
From an economic standpoint, inflation
remains low and long-term bond yields

become more hawkish.
