The Importance of Fiscal Transparency and an Evaluation of Public Financial Management in Turkey in terms of Fiscal Transparency

43333

Fiscal transparency is a result of the right to information and an indispensable element of democracy. The reason for the economic crises in the financial field in recent years and political instabilities was thought to result from the lack of transparency in public financial management. This understanding made fiscal transparency more important. In this regard, IMF and IBP developed some standards and prepared some country reports at both national and international levels in order to monitor, evaluate and strengthen fiscal transparency. Turkey started to work on how to strengthen fiscal transparency in the early 2000s and has introduced several legal and administrative regulations to restructure public financial management in a transparent way so far. As fiscal transparency is quite important, this study aims to evaluate the current state of fiscal transparency in Turkey and make some suggestions to strengthen fiscal transparency.
