RGE's Q3 2010 Turkey Outlook

Turkey’s economy is on track for standout growth in 2010. The economy grew by an eye-catching 11.7% y/y in Q1 2010, second only to China. Nevertheless, the favorable base effect after last year’s sharp 14.5% contraction in Q1 2009—when Turkey’s GDP hit bottom—largely explains the strong headline number. Indicators suggest the strong growth continued in Q2 thanks to recuperating domestic demand and positive inventory effects. Consequently, RGE has revised up the 2010 GDP growth forecast to 5.8%, higher than the 4.3% forecast in the April Outlook.
