  5. The Ozal Years The 1980 reforms to downgrade the import-substitution based development strategy in order to upgrade an export-led growth helped to catch a high growth platform for a couple of years but such a high level of re-structuring had its own drawbacks and financial liberalization policies created a banking crisis in 1983. However, the recovery was fast and Turkey experienced strong growth for another decade. Financial liberalization also brought new diseases to potential growth, such as dollarization. International financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), were familiar visitors in those years but this did not prevent another heavy banking crisis in 1994. The 1990s are generally been accepted as lost years not only because of the 1998 earthquake but also because of the global financial spillover, such as the Russian and the Far-East crises. The decade ended with a deep economic crisis in 2001 Summary of Turkish Reforms

  7. Expansionary fiscal contraction I Fiscaldiscipline since the 2001 crisis has led to a decline in budget deficit to 1%, while the primary balance generated over 5% surplus. Having risen to 5.5% in 2009 due to the crisis, the budget deficit has improved since then, falling to some 1.4% of GDP in 2011.

  8. Expansionary fiscal contraction II Debt to GDP ratio of above 70% post 2001 crisis has fallen to below 40%. This has led Treasury rates to permanently decline to single digits.

  9. The Sharp fall interest rates As a result, nominal and real rates fell sharply.

  10. Inflation: The Long View Inflation has declined to high single-digit levels from over 70% in 2002, yet hasn’t been able to break the 7-11% band on the downside since 2004, except during the crisis.
