Abstract

Distinctive features of the IMF supported fiscal adjustment programs is the implementation of structural fiscal reforms. Turkey completed many structural reforms aiming at an efficient market system and an effective public sector from 2000 to 2005. However due to the resistance against the reforms and changes experienced particularly in the second half of 2000 and 2002 and to the lack of “commitment” and “ownership” in the reforms the reforms were neither designed duly nor implemented completely. Turkey should commit and undertake structural reforms to be performed in public fiscal management. Such commitment necessitates a strategic management for the reforms in the medium term.
