Türkiye | Bolder start to the easing cycle
The Central Bank (CBRT) lowered the policy rate by 250bps to 47.5%, beating the market expectations of 150-200bps cut (vs. our 100bps cut call), but with a narrowed down symmetric interest rate corridor of 150bps from 300bps. The distribution of the meeting dates will be key to see how the real rates will evolve.

Türkiye | The CBRT keeps a similar tone to Sep MPC
The Central Bank (CBRT) kept the policy rate, keeping a tone similar to September MPC, despite the negative surprise of the September inflation. We maintain our first rate cut expectation in December with a 250 bps cut, where the timing and magnitude would depend on how the monthly inflation trend is improving.

After a weak GDP growth of 0.4% in 2023, activity will grow 3.2% in 2024 due to the recovery of the agricultural sector, hydroelectric power generation and private consumption. Even so, reforms are needed to gain competitiveness and maintain a sustainable growth path.

Mexico | Considerations on the transmission lag of monetary policy and other macro shocks
The transmission lag of monetary policy to the price level is five and two quarters for the US and Mexican economies, respectively. A surprise of 50 basis points in the reference rate would reduce the price level by 0.54% and 0.14% in the US and Mexico, respectively.

Turkey | The CBRT maintains the current stance
The Central Bank of Turkey (CBRT) kept the policy rate (one-week repo) at 19% in line with the expectations. Given the worsened inflation outlook, the CBRT tries to manage by eliminating any early rate cut expectations thus, we expect an easing cycle only very gradually in late 3Q and end the year with 16% policy rate.

Mexico | Easing cycle will continue, but Banxico will remain cautious
Yet, we continue to expect Banxico to cut the policy rate until it reaches c. 0% real levels by year-end ie, 3.0% to 3.5%. The Board’s concerns on the ER should have eased in the intermeeting period.

Mexico | Exceptional circumstances. Exceptional actions?
Banxico should speed up its slow pace of easing and implement additional liquidity measures. There is scope for both further cuts in the policy rate and implementing additional liquidity support measures.
