Research report: Banking market in Turkey, 2014

## Research Report: "Banking market in Turkey, 2014-2016"

Turkey's economy grew at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the first half of 2014 despite increasing global economic headwinds. Key banking volumes reflected the robust economy, however, growing at decelerating rates. Total assets increased to a record TRY 1.65 trillion (EUR 631 billion) as of June 2014. Lending remained relatively strong (+5% growth in value of outstanding loans during Jan.-Jun.2014), despite growing interest rates. The weakest segments were car and credit card lending hit by regulatory actions and by growing unemployment. Total deposits increased only by a fraction during H1 2014, driven up mostly by retail volumes.
In terms of profits, banks were able to post solid results in H1 2014. Despite gradually falling (since 2012) interest margins and stagnating fee & commission income, banks managed to produce higher profits thanks to growing underlying volumes. A closer look at P&L statements of the banking sector in H1 2014 points to a good control of operating costs and a falling impact of bad-loan provisions (on a relative basis vs. total assets). The NPL* ratios for commercial loans and housing loans keep falling, however, credit card debt and other consumer lending showed first signs of deterioration, which could be attributed to higher interest rates and growing unemployment.
