While the November headline inflation reading surprised to the upside, the main driver was food prices, which are less responsive to monetary policy. Core inflation trends showed a further slowdown, potentially helping the case for a measured rate cut. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

barisbalci's tweet card. Turkish consumer prices rose more than expected last month, suggesting the central bank will start cutting interest rates at a slower pace than anticipated.

19 Mart-21 Nisan arasında: - TCMB net rezervlerindeki erimeyi: $41.3 milyar, - Rezervlere katkıyı: $11.2 milyar, (altın fiyatındaki artış+ihracat gelirlerinden) - Dolayısıyla, TCMB'nin lira desteği için döviz piyasasına müdahalesini: $52.5 milyar olarak hesaplıyoruz.

Tricky decision for #Turkey's central bank today. Its 1st rate meeting (bar the emergency one when it hiked its overnight rate) since Imamoglu's detention & Trump's tariffs hit the #lira hard. Consensus is for a hold at 42.5%. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @berilakman

#Turkey's now out of recession. The $1.3 trillion economy rebounded in the fourth quarter. Supports the thinking among many investors of a pick up this year, aided by the start of interest-rate cuts. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @berilakman @barisbalci

“We’re not on autopilot.” #Turkey's central bank raises its year-end #inflation forecast to 24% and plays down thinking by many investors that it's going to carry on with jumbo rate cuts throughout the year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @berilakman @barisbalci

Düşük gelirliye hayat daha pahalı. Manset enflasyon yıl sonunda 44.4% olurken zaruri ihtiyaçlar enflasyonu %49'a yakın kaldı. %20'lik gelir gruplarına göre zaruri ihtiyaç harcaması: en düşük gelirli hanelerde %73 en yüksekte ise %43 paya sahip. blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories/S…

Düşük gelirliye hayat daha mı pahalı? Zaruri ihtiyaçlar enflasyonu %57, manset ise %52. %20'lik gelir gruplarına göre zaruri ihtiyaç harcaması: en düşük gelirli hanelerde %73 en yüksekte ise %43 paya sahip. Düşük gelirli aleyhine bu durum 2025'te de devam edebilir.

A boost for #Turkey as #inflation slows more than expected. Still as high as 44.4% for December, but that's better than markets expected. Increases the chances of the central bank cutting rates quickly this year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @barisbalci

Asgari ücret artışı beklediğimiz gibi %30 geldi - 2025 sonu enflasyon tahminimiz %25'i koruyoruz. Eger TCMB kendi 2025 sonu enflasyon tahmininde (%21) bir artış bekliyor idiyse, bu, enflasyon öngörülerimiz arasındaki 4 %puan farkın 0.7 %puanını açıklar. blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories/S…

TCMB Kasım ZK adımının: - piyasadaki likidite fazlasının ~%15'ini sterilize edeceğini, - dolayısıyla bu Cuma baslayacak yeni tesis döneminde de fazlanın devam edeceğini, - bunun Aralık ayı için bekledigimiz faiz indirim adımını küçültücü yönde risk oluşturduğunu hesap ediyoruz.
