Directors Report Market Developments Following a suitable environment for emerging markets in the first half of 2013, fund flows towards the developed markets shaped the global environment in the second half of the year. A comparison made with MSCI indices reveals a 25% increase in G7 equity markets, whereas emerging markets recorded a decline of 11% throughout the year. Turkey as an emerging market, was by no means an exception and recorded a decline of 31% in her equity markets. Expectations about FED s possible tapering was another important issue. Starting from the month of May, we have seen some signals on that front. Accordingly markets were expecting tapering to start in September. However, FED waited until December and started to reduce the amount of its bond buying program by USD 10 billion. Markets are expecting a higher growth (2.9%) this year in the US, compared to last year (1.9%). Hence, FED is expected to continue tapering until the end of 2014, but rate hikes will only come in 2015. FED and markets will closely watch employment and production data in order to be convinced for rate hikes. Some indicators point out a recovery in Europe as well. The Eurozone economy will probably register a positive growth in 2014. This will favorably affect Turkey s economy as Europe is a major trading partner of the country. On the domestic front, Turkish markets enjoyed an EM friendly environment in the first half of 2013. Turkey also benefitted from rating upgrades in 4Q12 and 1H13. Moreover, Fitch s upgrade carried Turkey to investment grade zone. In the second half of the year however, outflow from EMs put pressure both on the currency and interest rates. Accordingly, volatility on the stock exchange increased rapidly. Inflation climbed to 7.4%, well above Turkish Central Bank s 5% medium term target. Downward pressure on the currency took its toll further on inflation in December and January 2014 and the YoY CPI inflation increased to 7.75%. Turkish economy recorded a growth rate of 4% in the first three quarters of 2013. However, expectation about 2014 point to lower figures at around 2% or maybe even less. The Turkish Central Bank opted for monetary tightening in January 2014, following rapid depreciation of the TRY in the last two months. Indeed, the performance of the currency was much more weaker than its other EM counterparts throughout 2013. It seems that the TRY gained stability following Turkish Central Bank s move. Hence further tightening seems not to be on the agenda. Turkey is entering an election period starting from March 2014. Local elections on the last week of March will be followed by the presidential election in July. Then in 2015, there will be general elections. Normally, one should expect impairment of fiscal dynamics during election periods. However, the experience of the last decade reveals immediate improvement in budget figures following elections. The recent data suggests that 12M average budget deficit is at its lowest level of the last two years. Similarly the primary balance is on a strong position. Hence, unless many other counterparts, Turkey has the opportunity to have public contribution in her growth in 2014. Luxembourg, 16 April 2014 The Board of Directors 3
