| description |
Turkey has experienced rapid growth and
improved social outcomes over the past decade. Per-capita
income in United States dollar (USD) terms tripled during
the first decade of the 21th century, and Turkey is now the
world's 17th largest economy. Fiscal policy was an
important component of the reform program that delivered
these successes. Prudent fiscal policy also provided the
fiscal space to soften the blow of the global economic and
financial crisis in 2008-2009. This report documents the
central role played by fiscal policy over the last decade
and presents simulation results from a computable general
equilibrium model that will help inform the future direction
of fiscal policy to support sustained high growth. The
dynamics of fiscal outcomes and private investment and
savings raise a series of tradeoffs for policy going
forward. The analysis in this report suggests that public
investment can crowd-in private investment and promote a
more sustainable growth path. Government revenue dynamics
present another set of trade-offs. These fiscal trade-offs
are likely to be exacerbated as the structural
transformation of Turkey's economy slows down.
Structural reforms can support the fiscal policy pivot,
particularly by strengthening the supply side of the
economy, for instance through an increase in female labor
force participation. |
