The economists of the English bank HSBC have updated their growth and inflation forecasts for Turkey without disrupting the current HTML. The bank raised Turkey's 2024 growth forecast from 3.1% to 3.8%, while the 2025 growth forecast remained at 3.6%.
INFLATION FORECAST LOWERED
HSBC stated that they have recently revised their inflation forecasts downward compared to June, lowering their expectations for the end of 2024 from 48% to 44.6% and for 2025 from 29% to 27.7%.
NO EXPECTATION OF INTEREST RATE INCREASE
In their evaluation, the bank stated, "Our basic scenario regarding monetary policy continues to be that interest rates will remain unchanged throughout the year. According to our forecasts, the real policy rate will be quite positive as of November, but we believe that the interest rate cuts, which will start in the 4th quarter, may be a bit early for now."
YEAR-END DOLLAR FORECAST
The year-end dollar/TL forecast of the bank is also quite remarkable. The bank predicts that the current exchange rate of 32.78 TL will reach 36 TL by the end of the year.
