CBRT likely to pivot with a 550 bps rate hike
We now expect the CBRT to raise the one-week repo rate by 550 bps to 14.0% on 22 June; we previously expected no change.
We now expect the CBRT to move gradually from a highly accommodative monetary policy stance towards a neutral or hawkish stance to address renewed TRY weakness, a widening current account deficit, and persistently high inflation (despite slowing economic activity).
