Southeastern Europe & Mediterranean Emerging Market Economies: Bi-Weekly Report 11 - 24 July 2023

Countries in Focus in this Issue: Türkiye & Cyprus

TÜRKIYE
The CBRT continues its long way to policy normalization, raising its key rate by another 250 bps to 17.5% (up 900 bps cumulatively since June)  
The CBRT’s cautious approach to monetary policy tightening is dictated, inter alia, by the private sector’s high indebtedness

CYPRUS
Albeit moderating, due to strong headwinds -- especially rising interest rates -- GDP growth in Cyprus should remain resilient in FY:23, at 3.2%, continuing to outperform the euro area average 
The Cypriot tourism sector continues its recovery towards pre-pandemic levels
The continuation of some big infrastructure projects, together with strong RRF-backed investment in non-construction projects, should compensate for softer private consumption in the period ahead
