### Summary findings
- The assessment highlights a credit boom in the middle of 2011.
- Turkey faced the global crisis successfully because of earlier significant capital buffers.
- Overall, the country was described as healthy financially, but there was a slowdown in loan growth and market vulnerabilities.
- The report characterizes the resulting episode as an "insignificant shudder" that prompted the regime to strengthen the fiscal sector and insurance framework.
- Despite new macrofinancial risks in domestic and international developments, the Executive Board still considers Turkey "a balanced power."
