More arguments for further easing Macroeconomics: GDP’s growth outlook in 2014 put to the test (Page 3- 5)

Q2 GDP figures took the market by surprise, with a fall of 1% QoQ against market

consensus of 0.5% QoQ advance. On an annual basis, GDP rose 1.2% YoY (gross) in

Q2 and 2.4% YoY (gross) in H1 2014. Business cycle indicators were indeed weak,

with only industry expected to bring a positive contribution. For the moment this data

suggests that not only investments fell, but households’ consumption may have been

weaker too. The lack of public investments has hit the economy in the past 4 quarters.

The cash budget showed that they were even below the plan in H1 2014. Exports extra

EU slowed down visibly in May – June, falling on an annual basis, due to a drop down in

the category of machinery and transport equipment (-2.6% YoY in Q2). In the EU

however, these items grew by 12.9% YoY in Q2. Inflation stood at 1% YoY in July, up

from 0.7% YoY in June. NBR expects inflation to be at 2.2% YoY in December 2014,

driven up significantly by bread and bakery products and vegetables category, as the

favourable base effects wear off.

FX market: Look to the fundamentals (Page 6)

The leu progressively gained some strength against the euro last week and the

EUR/RON pair fell 0.6%. This evolution went hand in hand with an improved risk

perception to RON assets after the weekend talks held between the foreign ministers of

of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France, who gathered to win a fighting chance to end

the geopolitical tension. Simultaneously, the euro has continued to take more hits as the

market assesses a higher probability of ECB going into QE. The macroeconomic

fundamentals indicate that the leu is posed to depreciate rather than appreciate as the

current account deficit continues to widen and as NBR could ease further the monetary

policy after it had operated a drastic reduction in its inflation rate forecast for December

(of 1.1 pp). Net portfolio flows have been positive in the first and second quarter but

have eased significantly in the past 12M.

Fixed income markets: Yields fell temporarily (Page 7 - 8)

Bond yieds slipped lower by 8 -14 bps in last week. The Treasury successfully sold the

planned RON 600 mn in 7Y and 2Y bonds at an yield of 4.14% and 2.61%,

respectively.However, despite the easing seen in the secondary market, these yields

were still 26-29 bps higher compared to previous similar auctions held in mid and end

July. Also, in the last auction of the week, interest was much lower than in mid July

even if the yield was higher by 29 bps. Bid to cover ratio stood at 2.7 compared to 3.9

at the previous auction. With inflation expected at 2% in September compared to only

1% YoY in July we expect yields to shoot up.

Money markets: Weak GDP, a possible catalyzer (Page 9)

The negative GDP surprise that shows that Romanian GDP actually fell 2 consecutive

quarters along with the depressing GDP figures in the euro-zone may encourage NBR

to take another step in continuing the base rate cut cycle, especially since inflation

expectations are modest in 2015 as well, with Core 2 adjusted inflation quarterly

average at 1.5% (NBR forecast). If detailed data will show that households consumption

fell in the negative territory in Q2, even despite the favourable context in which real

wage increases were significant (with the private sector advancing faster than public

sector) and lower interest rates made debt repayment easier, then a weak consumption

figure could raise a question mark.

Macroeconomics: GDP’s growth outlook in 2014 put to the test

Q2 GDP figures took the market by surprise, with a fall of 1%

QoQ against market consensus of 0.5% QoQ advance. On an

annual basis, GDP rose 1.2% YoY (gross) in Q2 and 2.4% YoY

(gross) in H1 2014. Business cycle indicators were indeed weak,

with only industry expected to bring a positive contribution whereas

constructions and trade likely expected to have fallen.The surprise

data could be a negative evolution of agriculture and net taxes in

Q2, considering that the cash budget figures already pointed to

lower collection. The detailed figures will be presented on 3rd

September but for the moment this data suggests that not only

investments fell, but households consumption may have been

weaker too. The lack of public investments has hit the economy in

the past 4 quarters. The cash budget showed that they were even

below the plan in H1 2014.

In June, exports mounted to EUR 4239 mn (+5.4% YoY) whereas

imports stood at EUR 4794 mn (+9.2%YoY). Exports extra EU

slowed down visibly in May – June, falling on an annual basis,

due to a drop down in the category of machinery and transport

equipment (-2.6% YoY in Q2). In the EU however, these items

grew by 12.9% YoY in Q2.

The CA deficit widened in June to EUR 877 mn, compared to a

surplus of EUR 123 mn in H1 2013. Most of the difference

continues to come from the higher income gap, due to outflows

of FDI related companies which see their business results

improving. Looking at the financing side, we notice that net FDI

dropped by 12% YoY (12M rolling). During the first 6M, they stood

at EUR 1.3 bn. In the press release of NBR, 94%of the FDI was

from equity stakes and reinvested profit and only 6% made up by

intragroup loans. By comparison, at the end of 2013, two thirds

belonged to the first category and one third to the latter.

Direct investment income sent

abroad rises sharply

The most dynamic component

are reinvested earnings

Source: Eurostat Source: Eurostat

Inflation stood at 1% YoY in July, up from 0.7% YoY in June.

The main change came from food prices, which stopped falling as

fast as until now in annual terms: -1.8% YoY in July compared to -

3.2% YoY in June. More precisely, the category of vegetables

which makes up to 3.5% of consumption basket, recorded an

annual inflation fo 5.3% YoY in July, as the favorable base

effect has worn off. Compared to last year, when this category

saw a price decline of 13% MoM in July, this year there has been

only a 2.3% MoM. The rest of two main inflation categories, non

food and services saw price hikes of 2.5% YoY and 2.8%YoY,

respectively. NBR expects inflation to be at 2.2% YoY in December

2014, driven up significantly by bread and bakery products and

vegetables category (elimination of base effect).

FX markets: Look to the fundamentals

The leu progressively gained some strength against the euro last

week and the EUR/RON pair fell 0.6%. This evolution went hand in

hand with an improved risk perception to RON assets after the

weekend talks held between the foreign ministers of of Russia, Ukraine,

Germany and France, who gathered to win a fighting chance to end the

geopolitical tension. Partial progress was made and this proved to be a

small buying opportunity for local bonds, bringing back yields at the

previous levels seen two weeks ago. Simultaneously, the euro

continued to take more hits as the market assesses a higher

probability to ECB going into QE.

The macroeconomic fundamentals indicate that the leu is posed to

depreciate rather than appreciate as the current account deficit

continues to widen and as NBR could ease further the monetary

policy after it had operated a drastic reduction in its inflation rate

forecast for December (of 1.1 pp). Net portfolio flows have been

positive in the first and second quarter but have eased significantly in

the past 12M please see graph below).

Government securities: Yields fell temporarily

Risk perception towards the region improved last week, after the

events of two weekends ago which seemed to have cooled down the

Russia – Ukraine tension. Bond yieds slipped lower by 8 -14 bps in a

week. The Treasury successfully sold the planned RON 600 mn in 7Y

and 2Y bonds at an yield of 4.14% and 2.61%, respectively.However,

despite the easing seen in the secondary market, these yields were still

26-29 bps higher compared to previous similar auctions held in mid and

end July. Also, in the last auction of the week, interest was much lower

than in mid July even if the yield was higher by 29 bps. Bid to cover

ratio stood at 2.7 compared to 3.9 at the previous auction. With inflation

expected at 2% in September compared to only 1% YoY in July we

expect yields to shoot up.

MM: Weak GDP, a possible catalyzer

The negative GDP surprise that shows that Romanian GDP actually

fell 2 consecutive quarters along with the depressing GDP figures in

the euro-zone may encourage NBR to take another step in continuing

the base rate cut cycle, especially since inflation expectations are modest

in 2015 as well, with Core 2 adjusted inflation quarterly average at 1.5%

(NBR forecast). If detailed data will show that households consumption fell

in the negative territory, even despite the favourable context in which real

wage increases were significant (with the private sector advancing faster

than public sector) and lower interest rates made debt repayment easier,

then a weak consumption figure could raise a question mark.
