S&P says Turkish economy stable but risks remain
November 22, 2013--Ratings agency Standard & Poor's said on Friday it maintains its earlier stable outlook on the Turkish economy but added that certain risks expose Turkish markets to global shocks.The agency affirmed Turkey's sovereign credit rating of BB+, citing strong growth prospects.
S&P said a lingering current account deficit (CAD) problem along with fast-growing consumer loans could pose risks to the Turkish economy. Noting that Turkey's need for external financing continues, S&P said it will get even more expensive to receive foreign loans, thus hurting economic balances. However, the agency highlighted positive developments in fiscal balance and growth.It also estimated that Turkey's inflation will reach 8 percent by the end of this year. Turkey's monthly inflation rate saw a 12-month high in October when it rose 1.8 percent, but annualized consumer prices fell to 7.71 percent according to the Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkStat).
