IMF Turkey: Selected Issues Paper
December 1, 2014--THE EXTERNAL IMBALANCE: BOOSTING NATIONAL SAVINGS WILL LIMIT THE BURDEN OF ADJUSTMENT1
Turkey's current account deficit is expected to remain elevated at around 5½-6 percent of GDP through 2019. Reducing the deficit to a more sustainable level around 2½-3 percent of GDP should be a key policy priority.
Active policies that boost national savings will allow for a gradual adjustment of the imbalance instead of running the risk of a disruptive one through external financing constraints. Applying the Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF), we quantify the impact of four different approaches to reducing the current account deficit. The analysis shows that policies that directly increase private or public savings can reduce the external imbalance without reducing private
investment and have relatively modest negative growth implications. If instead the adjustment is left to monetary policy tightening or happens automatically via an increased country risk premium-as has been the case recently-the rebalancing will be on account of a large fall in private investment and a larger slump in real GDP.
