Jorda, O., Schularick, M., and Taylor, A., 2013, When Credit Bites Back, Journal of Money, Cred-it and Banking 45, 3-28.Unlike advanced economies where bank deposits increased during the pandemic (as a r
4、esult of increased demand for safe haven assets), in Turkey the increase in TL loans was not matched by a proportional increase in TL deposits. Instead, the low interest rate environment triggered dollarisation and increased FX deposits and demand for gold instead. s:/uk.reuters.eom/article/uk-turke

There has also been a net outflow from the banking system such that the decrease in TL deposits was not
6、exactly matched by an increase in FX deposits, increasing the net borrowing needs of the banking system. While banks could swap these FX deposits for TL at the CBRT, micro-prudential measures such as the active ratio made it more expensive to accept FX deposits and put additional strains on bank bal
7、ance sheets. The active ratio also penalized banks if they did not lend. Figure 7 shows that the net FX position of the banking sector followed a V-shaped pattern and is at pre-COVID levels, eliminating concerns on that front.Figure 7: Banking Sector Net FX PositionQsn) uowsod XLONQsn) uowsod XLON60

9、ing average credit growth reached a peak of 100 percent for commercial loans by mid-May, and 120 percent in mid-August for consumer loans (see Figure 8). Excessive credit growth increases the funding needs of the banking sector and puts pressure on the TL, particularly given the fact that the averag
10、e loan- to-deposit ratio is around 140 percent. Figure 9 shows that the composition of the banking sectors FX debt moved towards short-term loans during the pandemic season where banks were net payers of long-term Ioans, but were able to roll over short-term loans.Figure 8: Credit Growth Rates for C

14、th declined to 40 percent for consumer loans and 10 percent for commercial loans. This is also reflected in credit impulse, which shows the change in credit growth. While the slowdown in credit growth is bad news for the growth rate, it is good news for the exchange rate and macroeconomic balances.
15、The slowdown in credit growth reduces the probability of hard landing moving forward and makes it possible to ease exchange rate pressures as well as the inflation rate. Looking forward however, the rollover needs of the corporate sector might limit the decline in credit growth.Figure 10: Credit Con
16、ditionsSource: CBRTChange in the Composition of Short-Term FundingNet FX reserves of the CBRT declined significantly in 2020. Gross reserves amounted to 42.3 billion USD as of the end of October. Just to provide perspective, gross reserves were as high as 89 billion USD on average over the years bet
17、ween 2008 and 2018. While gross and net reserves declined at a fast pace, part of the decline in FX stock was offset by the increase in short-term debt by the CBRT and the public sector.Looking at the short-term funding of the private sector, we observe a decline in the shortterm external debt of th
18、e private sector which offsets the increase in the short-term external funding of the public sector and the CBRT. Figure 11 displays the evolution of the short-term debt structure for these three sectors in the last two years. Turkey has been experiencing a decline in capital inflows for a while. Th
19、e volatility in the exchange rate and the consequent restrictive measures that were adopted during the pandemic accelerated outflows of shortterm funding. As shown in Figure 12, portfolio flows declined by 15 billion USD over the course of last year while short-term loans (excluding commercial loans
20、) declined by 2 billion USD. While the decline in short-term funding puts pressure on the exchange rate, low levels of funding reduce the scope for further volatility in financial markets and the exchange rate.

23、ortfolio investmentDeposit liabilitiesSource: Turkey Data MonitorDecline in Long-Term FundingLong-term funding of the non-financial corporate sector has been declining in the last 12 months (see Figure 13), Combined with the weaker TL, some Turkish firms are struggling to repay foreign currency debt
24、, resulting in loan restructurings. On the bright side, depreciation in the TL makes Turkish assets more attractive, which may explain the stable pattern of foreign direct investment. Since the exchange rate crisis in August 2018, the focus for Turkish companies has been on deleveraging, which is th
25、e process whereby businesses pay their debt by accumulating cash, often by selling their assets. Deleveraging is an advantage for the heavily indebted private sector to strengthen its balance sheets. Furthermore, Figure 14 suggests a similar picture as firms in the non-financial sector have been del
26、everaging in recent years. This can be indeed explained by the fact that firms cash holdings display a significant time variation.Figure 13: Corporate Borrowing and FDI(dsn uo=ErE_ol llwolu&L)20000150001000050000-5000-10000-15000寸。oeoe 80啕 寸96S7 oSLOa OLcoLod 807 寸 OOOOCM OCOOCM oTzoe szoe 寸。、OCM L0

38、ments-aft:er-covid-19/Gradual removal of the above-mentioned restrictions or regulations in the second half of 2020 signals a more market-friendly approach and allows greater access to international debt markets. For example, the Treasury sold $2.5 billion Eurobonds in October 2020, following the ra
39、te hike by the CBRT that signalled a return to more orthodox policies.Labour Force and ProductivityEconomic growth can be decomposed into capital accumulation, labour and Total Factor Productivity TFP. In terms of labour, Turkey has a dynamic and flexible population. A young, qualified labour force
40、supported by a strong infrastructure has always been one of the strengths of the Turkish economy. On the other hand, the unemployment rate had been on the rise for some time even before the pandemic started. The duration of the pandemic will be critical because long spells of unemployment may cause
41、permanent damage to the labour force by increasing discouraged workers who drop out of the labour force. The labour force participation rate has been declining since the onset of the August 2018 crisis.Nevertheless, the recent increase in labour force participation likely reflects the stimulus measu
42、res that were put into effect during the pandemic (Figure 16).Figure 16: Labour Force Participation and Employment Rate53549474543439( -pssmpB A-BUOSB s)ooeoCXJ 6968CM S968CXJ L96OCM 6988OU gooooCM ocooe 69ZO。 gzoe O,ZOCM 699OZ 398Q oooe 6o,goe gqgoCM o1nOCM 6。,寸OCM go4oe oGoe 60CO0CM gocoLOCXJ scoo

44、apita income growth. For Turkey to enrich its population, it needs to increase its TFP. Yet, Turkey experienced a significant decline in TFP in the period after 2010. The contribution of TFP to total growth was nil after 2014 where growth was driven by capital accumulation. Baki, 0. and Acar, 2020,

While the decline in the contribution of TFP is clearly negative for growth prospects, po
46、st-COVID transformation and support for new technologies by the Turkish government, such as solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and unmanned air vehicles, provides an opportunity for Turkey.Due to the redistribution of global supply chains after the pandemic and thanks to its geographical advan
47、tages, Turkey might attract more foreign direct investment, which might result in technology transfer that could in turn translate into higher TFP levels.Trade Conditionsakmakh et al.
