Fitch: Turkish CPI to hit 25% In December, CBRT to Hike Rates to 17% in 2022

TURKEY
  • Fitch revised its estimate from 17.2% to 25% in a report this week, expecting inflation to peak early next year before slowing to 19% by the end of 2022.
  • Strong economic growth, rising inflation and a weak lira means the Turkish central bank’s low interest rate policies are unsustainable, Fitch said.
  • It predicted that the central bank would raise its benchmark interest rate to 17 percent during 2022.
  • Fitch increased its economic growth estimate for Turkey this year to 10.5% from 9.2%, 3.6% in 2022 and 4.5% in 2023
