"Impressions a la Turca
I am concluding my week-long coverage of the IMF-WB meetings with my impressions regarding Turkey.
Before I go on, I should say I was very disappointed by the Turkish delegation’s presentations, with the possible exception of the Central Bank Governor Durmuş Yılmaz. With the world coming out of a major crisis, I would have expected the delegation to highlight Turkey’s experience with past crises, particularly the 2001 vintage that handed the country a sounder banking system. Also, despite the growing importance of the G-20, especially given the responsibilities it bestowed on the IMF at Pittsburgh, I would have thought the delegation would play to Turkey’s membership in the club."
