Türkiye | The economy will cope with renewed headwinds once again

Turkish growth has slowed significantly since Q4 2025, and the oil shock since March has led to a significant erosion of foreign exchange reserves, a more pronounced depreciation in the lira than in other emerging-market currencies, and pressure on domestic bond yields. The risk of disruptions to hydrocarbon and fertilizer supplies is limited. However, the revision of official inflation forecasts, the subsequent tightening of monetary policy, and warnings of the finance minister about potential budget slippage have dampened investor sentiment, which is further unsettled by the AKP’s strategy of systematically sidelining potential rivals in the presidential elections. There are often recurring financial tensions in Türkiye. However, the risk of economic destabilization is low given the government’s moderate debt levels and the strength of the banking system. The slowdown is even beneficial, as it will help to limit the current account deficit and should help the central bank in curbing expectations of inflation and rebuilding its foreign exchange reserves.
