What Were The Key External Financing Sources in 2014?

The rebalancing process of Turkey was fast in 2014 due to

contained domestic demand and high external demand

contribution to GDP growth. Even though there was a

deterioration in the last quarter of 2014, the main driver of growth

was the external demand in the first three quarters of the year,

leading a significant fall in current account deficit. Current

account deficit declined by USD 18.8 bln, more than 2 percent of

GDP in 2014. With respect to our GDP estimate for the whole year,

current account to GDP ratio fell to 5.7% in 2014 from 7.9%, the

year before, the lowest level since 2009.

In line with the fall in current account deficit, external financing

need also declined. Looking at the external financing sources;

there is a decline in the inflows of all main financing

subcategories. In addition to the decline in capital inflows, central

bank reserves which had increased by USD 9.9 bln in 2013,

declined by USD 0.5 bln in 2014. The undefined sources of

financing was only slightly lower than the previous year, falling to

USD 2.2 bln from USD 2.8 bln.

Despite the financial volatility during the year, the highest capital

inflows have been registered as portfolio flows in 2014 as in 2013.

Net portfolio inflows were USD 20 bln in 2014, only USD 4 bln lower

than the year before. In 2014, equity and TL denominated bond

purchases were low, while Eurobond (sovereign, bank and real

sector) purchases were strong.

On the financing side of the current account deficit, there was a

remarkable deterioration in net FDI level. In 2014 net FDI was USD

5.5 bln, the lowest level since 2004. Even though there was a

decline in gross FDI inflows, it was not the only reason of poor net

FDI performance. The main reason was the FDI outflows due to

M&A activities of Turkish companies abroad, reaching USD 7 bln,

the record level.

The deposits, which was one of the main financing sources of

current account deficit in 2013 increasing by USD 13.2 bln has

almost remained constant in 2014. Net change in deposits

(the change in deposits of foreigners in banks and the

central bank, the change in deposits of Turkish residents

abroad) was only USD 1. 2 bln in 2014.

Other than above mentioned sources, one important source

of external financing is borrowing. On net basis, total

borrowing excluding commercial loans in 2014 was USD 6 bln

lower than the year before at USD 15.2 bln (banks USD 10.5

bln and real sector USD 5.8 bln).

Even though there was a deceleration in the pace of the

private sector external debt growth in 2014, total private

sector external debt continued to grow. As a % of GDP, the

ratio rose by 2.8 points to 35.4% in 2004. The financial sector

borrowing almost made up all of the rise, increasing by 2.4

points to 20.5%, while real sector external debt to GDP ratio

grew only slightly by 0.4 points to 14.9%.

In 2014, the financial sector was able to expand its borrowing

terms mainly in longer maturities, leading long term external

debt of the sector exceeding its short term external debt. This

has been also valid for the maturity of the real sector external

debt. Real sector short term external debt declined, while

long term external debt remained constant in 2014.

To sum up, portfolio flows remained to be the most important

financing source of the current account deficit as well as the

borrowing. In addition, recent developments on the external

debt front indicated a relative improvement in debt

sustainability compared to the year before.

While consumer prices rose by 1.10% (MoM), annual CPI decelerated from 8.17% in December to 7.24% in January. Annual domestic producer price inflation, on the other hand, decelerated from 6.36% to 3.28% (the lowest level since May’13) in the same period.

In January, annual food inflation decelerated to its lowest level in the last 10 months. However, severe weather conditions in February may limit the decelerating trend in food prices.

The highest contribution to monthly CPI in January was from food with 0.85 points. The highest decreasing impact came from clothing and textile (0.52pp).

Dominated by local factors, TL slumped against the dollar (6% MoM as of Feb 25th). TL’s weakening against the euro-dollar basket was also 6% in the same period.

EM currencies continued to weaken against the globally strengthening dollar. Accordingly, EMFX index consisting of 10 most liquid EM currencies fell by 2% MoM against USD as of February 25th.

Graph 12: 5Y Treasury – CBT Policy Rate Spread

In February, despite the CBT’s rate cuts, Treasury TRY yield curve shifted up by some 100bps MoM across the curve as of Feb 25th reflecting the currency volatility.

Graph 10: USD-TL and US Bond Market Volatility

US Bond market volatility is on the rise as the Fed gets closer to its first rate hike. TL volatility calmed down somewhat after soaring at the start of February.

Graph 7: CPI Based Real Exchange Rates (2003=100)

In real terms, TL appreciated against advanced currencies by 3.7% and by 2.2% against emerging currencies, in January. Accordingly, TL’s appreciation against basket was 3.3% pushing the index up to 116.9.

Graph 11: Yield Curve

The spread between the 5Y Treasury yield and the CBT’s policy rate jumped to 50bps from negative 90bps, questioning the consistency of the CBT’s tightness argument referring to the slope of the yield curve.

In January, central government budget surplus came in at TL 3.8bn. Meanwhile, primary surplus recorded as TL 8.8bn. In order to reach the government’s budget targets for 2015 (MTP), tax revenues will be vital.

In January, the annual rise in tax revenues decelerated from 15% in December to 7%.

Re-acceleration in goods and services procurements in January pointed out a positive contribution to GDP growth from government consumption expenditures. However, investment expenditures are still decreasing as of January.

As total revenues increased by 5.8% (YoY), the annual increase in total expenditures remained relatively slight (0.9%) in January.

Non-interest expenditures to tax revenues ratio slightly decelerated to 112.5% in January – a positive sign for the budget performance.

Although government is planning to curb expenditures in 2015, general election to be held in mid-2015 raises a question mark on the targets for the expenditure side.

The decline in Eur/$ parity and the sharp fall in import prices in Q4 of 2014 led the contraction in exports prices to accelerate further. Exports and imports prices fell by 3% and 7%, respectively in Q4 of 2014.

Graph 46: Exports and Imports Price (YoY)

Source: TURKSTAT, GarantiBank calculations

The sharp annual fall in Eur/$ parity may continue to lower exports in nominal terms in the following period since nearly half of our exports are registered in Euro. We calculate a decline in exports by USD 1.2bn in 2014 stemming from the decline in parity.

Geopolitical risks and EU’s growth performance continue to weigh on Turkey’s exports. Exports to Iraq and Russia decreased by 16% and 22% (YoY), respectively, in Q4 of 2014 while exports to EU28 was almost steady in the same period.

Graph 48: Exports to Iraq&Russia&EU (3M avg.,YoY)

In Q4 of 2014, exports and imports contracted by 0.3% and 2.5%, respectively, on annual basis. The preliminary figures from Ministry of Customs and Trade indicated that the annual contraction in both of them will accelerate in January.

Turkey’s energy imports fell by USD 1.2bn to USD 55.9bn at the end of 2014 on annual basis. Due to the lag effects, Turkey’s energy imports is likely to decline more rapidly in the following period. We calculate a decline of USD 12bn in energy imports with an estimate of 69$ oil price on average in 2015.

Graph 44: Oil Prices & Energy Imports

In Q4 of 2014, real exports and real imports grew by 3.4% and 4.6%, respectively. This showed that rebalancing in the economy may have come to an end toward the end of last year. We estimate a limited negative contribution from external demand in Q4 of 2014.

Graph 53: Interest Rates (10-day average)

Despite the rate cut, the CBT continued to squeeze the cheap liquidity in the face of TL depreciation. The CBT forces the banks to borrow some part of the liquidity from the marginal borrowing rate (10.75%) to increase O/N rates to tame currency volatility.

FX forwards had not priced in a rate cut from the CBT as 3M implied rates hovered around 9.5% as of Feb 25th, shedding some light on excess currency volatility.

The CBT cut one-week repo rate from 7.75% to 7.5%; overnight lending rate (marginal funding rate) from 11.25% to 10.75%; overnight borrowing rate from 7.5% to 7.25% in its February meeting.

Although CDS premiums stayed muted, TRY yields on Treasuries rose sharply pricing the volatility on the currency front. Yield curve shifted up by some 100bps MoM as of Feb 25th despite the CBT’s measured rate cuts.
