Abstract	After a severe financial crisis and deep recession in 2001, Turkey’s policy goal is to enter a sustained recovery while taking measures to address the root causes of the crisis. The underlying reasons for the crisis had been building over the previous decade, notably a fragile banking system, weaknesses in the structural fiscal adjustment, as well as contagion effects from financial crises elsewhere. Against this background, a political dispute with a swelling current account deficit triggered the collapse of the three-year exchange-rate based stabilisation programme in February 2001, only 14 months after its launch. The crawling peg for the Turkish lira was abandoned and real interest rates skyrocketed, precipitating a banking crisis, which was followed by a deep recession accompanied by higher inflation and rising unemployment. A strengthened programme, backed by substantial international financial support, is intended to permit a gradual return of confidence, a sounder banking system and easing in financial market conditions, while the deep recession and a newly independent Central Bank have facilitated a rapid return to the disinflation path. Early signs of an inventory and export led recovery appeared in 2002.
