Turkey: Capacity Utilisation
Turkey: Capacity Utilisation
Correction of the December Data Resulted in a m/m Decline in the CUR
On a seasonally adjusted basis, capacity utilisation rate (CUR) decreased 0.5pp m/m to 73.1% in January. Unadjusted CUR decreased 1.2pp m/m to 72.4%. On our calculations, both consumer goods and durable goods production increased by 0.7 pp m/m on a s.a. basis. On the other hand intermediate and investment goods production declined by -1.4 pp m/m and -0.8 pp m/m, respectively, partly counterbalancing the sharp rise they displayed last month. Among the export market oriented sectors, CUR in motor vehicles declined 1.0 pp m/m, while basic metals production dropped 1.7pp m/m. However CUR in textile sector remained strong and increased 1.3pp m/m.

Here is the good news. Mexico reported a December trade surplus of USD 962mn while the consensus was expecting a deficit of USD 936mn. Now, the not-so-good news. Both imports and exports were weak and the surplus is explained by the fact that imports were weaker than exports.
