(Bloomberg) -- Turkey’s $736 billion economy outperformed major competitors in the final quarter, as rate cuts and a spending-and-credit binge beat back pandemic restrictions even as the lira collapsed, data will likely show Monday.Gross domestic probably rose 6.9% from a year earlier, according to the median of 20 forecasts in a Bloomberg survey, more than in any other G-20 nation, including China. The growth push weakened the currency by 20% in 2020 and kept headline inflation in double digits for the entire year.The data will expose the challenge facing central bank Governor Naci Agbal as he looks to cool growth and restore price stability without triggering a steep slowdown in activity and a jump in unemployment.“The key drivers of the economic activity in the last quarter were industrial production and credit growth,” said Can Ayan, an Istanbul-based economist at Aktif Bank, who ranks second among forecasters of Turkish GDP data. Consumption and government spending will support activity in the first quarter of 2021, lifting growth over the year to 5.2%, Ayan said.The government had pushed banks to ramp up lending to help businesses and consumers ride out the Covid emergency. The credit boom was coupled with a front-loaded easing cycle that helped prime the economy.Agbal has raised the benchmark interest rate by 675 basis points to 17% following his appointment in November, signaling a return to more market-friendly monetary policy. The lira has strengthened 15% since his appointment.The International Monetary Fund raised its growth forecast for Turkey’s economy to 6% in 2021 amid the coronavirus vaccine rollout, while warning the pandemic response worsened pre-existing financial risks despite leading to a strong rebound in economic activity.“With some stability in the currency market, Turkish exporters can finally enjoy the price competitiveness accumulated over recent years,” said JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s London-based analyst Yarkin Cebeci. “Depending on the pace of vaccinations, tourism will most probably be stronger than last year as well.”(Updates with more forecasts in the second paragraph and the first chart)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

It’s been a long, long time since “SNL” did any jokes about the president of the United States. The 2020 Christmas episode, in fact. But that looks likely to change March 27 when Maya Rudolph will return as host after the show takes almost the entire month of March off. Rudolph will be joined by musical guest Jack Harlow, who is appearing on “SNL” for the very first time. It’s only the second time as host for Rudolph, who made her hosting debut in 2012. She was a regular cast member from 2000-2007 and has of course made multiple appearance since, most recently in her recurring role as Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris appeared in that role during the first 6 episodes of the current season of “SNL,” which aired in October and early November as the 2020 election was under way. She made another appearance in the Christmas episode for a very brief cameo, but since the show returned from its winter break in mid-January, it hasn’t brought her back to play Harris.

In fact, Baldwin showed up to play Trump a total of 8 episodes during the 2017 portion of the 2016-2017 season. But that aside, the main takeaway for “SNL” fans is that we still don’t know for sure who, if anyone, is going to play Joe Biden during the next for years the way Baldwin did for Trump. Jim Carrey played Biden last fall, but his performance wasn’t that well-received, which might be why he stepped down, abruptly, hours before the aforementioned Christmas episode. That night, Alex Moffat ended up playing Biden very briefly and it was assumed that he would be the new Biden going forward, but since the show hasn’t done any Biden/Harris sketches since then, we don’t really know. What we do know, however, is that Rudolph is always delightful, including when she plays Vice President Harris, so fans should have a lot of fun when “SNL” returns.
