The economy is growing strongly, thanks to both government-driven stimulus
and robust foreign demand. However, continued political noise – both at home
and abroad – risks knocking the recovery off course. Rapid private credit
growth is also a source of concern, although the main risk remains the large
external financing requirement, which leaves Turkey highly exposed to
further tightening of monetary policy in the US.
