The Pulse of
Markets.

Ottoman Research Systems monitors 1,400+ distinct variables to construct a high-fidelity map of the Turkish and global economy. We move beyond surface-level reporting to isolate the structural drivers of fiscal health.

Ottoman Research Systems analytical environment

Perspective 01

"Precision in macroeconomics requires more than data; it requires a deep understanding of the historical friction between policy and performance."

98.4

Reliability Index of Our Integrated CPI Proxies

By aggregating real-time retail pricing data with traditional economic indicators, our models anticipate inflationary shifts weeks before official announcements.

Primary Variable Clusters

Our research systems categorize data into four operational clusters. Each variable is weighted based on its historical correlation to Turkish market volatility and global fiscal cycles.

Nominal Framework

Output & Growth Dynamics

  • Real GDP Adjusted Quarterly / Annual
  • Industrial Production Index Manufacturing focus
  • Capacity Utilization Sector-specific

Essential for identifying the transition stages of the Turkish business cycle. We track these to calibrate long-term capital allocation strategies.

Monetary Health

Price & Inflation Signals

  • Headline CPI & Core-H Monthly Variance
  • Producer Price Indices (PPI) Supply-chain leading
  • Yield Curve Spreads 10Y vs 2Y analysis

These indicators serve as the primary inputs for our interest rate forecasting models. We emphasize producer input costs as the earliest warning for consumer price adjustments.

External Balance

Trade & Capital Flows

  • Current Account Deficit Rolling 12-Month
  • FX Reserve Adequacy Gross vs Net
  • Portfolio Investment Hot money tracking

Monitoring the vulnerability of the Lira through external financing requirements and central bank liquidity positions.

Social Determinants

Labor & Sentiment

  • Unemployment Rate Broad & Seasonally Adj.
  • Consumer Confidence Survey-based tracking
  • Real Wage Growth Purchasing power index

Labor market tightness provides the fundamental floor for domestic demand forecasts. We examine these metrics to understand the "sticky" elements of structural inflation.

Methodological Discipline

Refining Raw Market Noise

Economic data is inherently noisy. Ottoman Research Systems applies a proprietary filtering layer to all incoming economic indicators. We isolate transient seasonal effects and one-off policy shocks to find the underlying trend.

This process ensures that our macroeconomics models are not misled by temporary anomalies in trade balances or erratic monthly employment shifts.

Automated Extraction & Validation

We utilize automated scrapers to monitor private sector activity beyond official government statistics. This includes electricity consumption patterns and freight logistics volume—indicators that often lead official GDP figures by 30 to 45 days.

By cross-referencing public dossiers with these "shadow indicators," we provide a more robust and resilient outlook than traditional institutional reviews.

Beyond Numerical Analysis

Asset Class Correlation

How fluctuating economic indicators directly impact fixed-income yields and equity valuations in emerging markets.
