CI Ratings gave a stable rating to the Turkish economy: Credit rating BB- / B.

Stable Assessment of Turkey's Credit Rating by CI Ratings

The international credit rating agency CI Ratings has decided to keep Turkey's credit rating at BB- / B level. The agency also set the outlook for the rating as stable. This decision stands out as an assessment of the current situation in the economy and the policies being implemented.

The Importance of Monetary Policy and Fiscal Discipline

In the report published by CI Ratings, it was noted that the tight monetary policy and fiscal discipline implemented in Turkey have had a positive impact on macroeconomic stability. Despite the high inflation rates and the trends of dollarization in the economy, it was emphasized that these policies have led to a gradual improvement. This situation offers investors a glimmer of hope regarding potential improvements in the Turkish economy.

Inflation and Economic Growth Forecasts

CI Ratings' report forecasts that the average inflation in Turkey will decline to 35% by the end of 2025 and to 25% in 2026. Economic growth is expected to average 3.6% between 2025 and 2027. This rate is a significant indicator for the economic sustainability of Turkey.

Factors Affecting the Rating Outlook

It was stated that the rating outlook balances between the strengthening of macroeconomic stability in Turkey and decreasing political risks. However, it is pointed out that high inflation rates and the limited buffer in foreign reserves could challenge this balance. CI Ratings mentioned that if there is further strengthening of the coordination between monetary and fiscal policy or a significant increase in reserves, Turkey's credit rating could be raised.
