Turkish lira Analysis:
The USD/TRY pair maintained its stability within a limited trading range during the current week's trading sessions. Despite mixed data with both negative and positive results, the lira seems to be constrained within certain movement boundaries, supported by positive expectations for the Turkish economy and a tight monetary policy, possibly with indirect intervention from the Turkish central bank.
Meanwhile, investors followed reports revealing an increase in mysterious capital outflows from Turkey to abroad, coinciding with the recent elections, reminiscent of similar trends observed before last year's presidential elections. This outflow, amounting to approximately $10 billion in March, led to a decrease in Turkish central bank reserves and a significant current account deficit, surpassing expectations. So far, the fear of currency devaluation post-elections was cited as the main reason behind this capital flight, despite efforts towards conventional economic policies and stabilizing the lira.
Previously, Turkey had announced measures to cut public spending, aiming to curb inflation and reduce the budget deficit. However, doubts surround the effectiveness of these measures, including cuts in public sector employment and infrastructure investments, with scepticism about their impact on inflation rates. Market analysts emphasize the need for more substantial long-term savings and express concerns about the feasibility and effectiveness of the announced measures. Also, the spending cuts announcement is seen as an initial step towards financial rationalization, although significant savings are still anticipated in the future. Moreover, despite efforts to address economic issues, challenges such as high inflation rates and resilient domestic demand persist, complicating the effectiveness of policy interventions.
