However, adding that Turkey’s outlook may be changed to positive “if the tight monetary stance is being maintained and wage agreements are compatible with the CBRT’s objective to materially bring down inflation. Moody’s warned that excessive wage increases could furhter increase demand-led inflationary pressures, and that “A sharp slowdown in growth constitutes another risk as it would increase the risk of another policy reversal, back to the previous unorthodox policies.
