Abstract

In this article, it has been investigated that the conditions under which developing countries and Turkey's economy were caught the COVID-19 crisis and what kind of fiscal policy is implemented in the world during the crisis phase. The main objective of the study is to investigate whether the fiscal policy implemented in Turkey is enough to meet the economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis, and the necessity of IMF-supported stabilization policies. In the study, it was seen that developing countries were caught the crisis with high public debt, inflation, unemployment, low growth rates and capital outflows. As in many countries, in Turkey as well, expansionary fiscal policies under the name of “Economic Stability Shield” have been implemented in order to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis. In this study, as well as the measures taken to mitigate the effects of the crisis in Turkey, it has been found that the need of using automatic stabilizers such as the unemployment insurance and the income tax as a fiscal policy tool, and providing additional support to firms and households. In this context, it was concluded that it would be appropriate to meet the external resource need with the loans to be obtained from the IMF, since it cannot be met with swap agreements.

Özet

Bu makalede gelişmekte olan ülkelerin ve Türkiye ekonomisinin COVID-19 krizine hangi şartlarda yakalandığı ve kriz aşamasında Dünya’da nasıl bir maliye politikası uygulamasına gidildiği araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye’de uygulanan maliye politikalarının COVID-19 krizinin ekonomik etkilerini karşılamada yeterli olup olmadığının ve IMF destekli istikrar politikalarının gerekliliğinin araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmada gelişmekte olan ülkelerin krize yüksek kamu borcu, enflasyon, işsizlik, düşük büyüme oranları ve sermaye çıkışları ile yakalandığı görülmüştür. Pek çok ülkede olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de krizin ekonomik etkilerini hafifletmek için “Ekonomik İstikrar Kalkanı” adı altında genişletici maliye politikaları uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada, Türkiye’de krizin etkilerini hafifletmek üzere alınan önlemler önemli olmakla birlikte özellikle işsizlik sigortası ve gelir vergisi gibi otomatik istikrar sağlayıcıların bir maliye politikası aracı olarak kullanılması ve firmalara ve hane halklarına ek desteklerin sağlanması gerektiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede dış kaynak ihtiyacının swap anlaşmaları ile sağlanamaması nedeniyle IMF’den alınacak krediler ile sağlanmasının uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
