“The 12m rolling current account balance thus narrowed further to around -USD34.43bn. Assuming Q4 y-o-y results are largely in line with Q3, which seems reasonable; this would suggest a deficit worth 4.6% of GDP currently. Just for context, this has narrowed from -USD48bn 12 months ago and from the USD76.7bn deficit low in late 2011 (around 9.7% of GDP). Looking ahead, given the lead/lags between crude oil price movements and Turkey’s external balances, another USD10bn should be shaved off the deficit over the next six months.
