Çoğu gelişmekte olan ülke gibi tasarruf etmekte güçlük çeken Türkiye’nin ekonomik gelişim için yalnızca para politikası araçlarını kullanıyor oluşunun sorgulanması gerekmektedir. Bu anlayış çerçevesinde alınan kararlarla birlikte ülke ekonomisini büyük sorunlara sürükleyen bir özgün sarmal oluşturmuş, artık ekonomik sıkıntılara geçici çözümler bulmak bile güç duruma gelmiştir. Ülkedeki ekonomi yönetimi, içine düşülen bu olumsuz durumda çıkış yolu olarak para politikasını arz yönlü bir yaklaşımla rekabetçi kur stratejisi üzerinden yürütmeye karar vermiştir. Bu çalışmada, tasarruf oranıyla ülke ekonomisini yıpratıcı bir döngüye sokan para politikasının temel hedefleme alanları olan, döviz kuru, enflasyon ve faiz arasındaki karşılıklı nedensellik ilişkisi, Toda-Yamamoto (1995) tarafından geliştirilen yöntemle açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, rekabetçi kur stratejisinin, tasarruflar üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır. Tersine tasarrufların rekabetçi kurun nedeni olabileceği yönünde bir bulguya ulaşmak mümkündür. Pek çok gelişmekte olan ülke gibi kronik sorunları olan Türkiye’de ekonomik gelişim için atılacak adımlar, yalnızca para politikasına bağlı değil politikalar bütünlüğünü sağlayacak olan planlama perspektifinden olmalıdır.

Türkiye's Unique Circle: Is Competitive Exchange Rate a Solution?

Öz

As in most cases, need to be questioned Turkey's monetary policy tools for economic development in the country's savings. With the decisions taken after 2015, this understanding has created a unique circle in a way that will greatly advance the country's economy. The economic management in the country is being trained in this negative situation. In this study, the mutual causality relationship between the exchange rate, inflation and interest, which are the main targeting areas of the monetary policy, which puts the savings rate and the country's economy in a corrosive cycle, is tried to be explained with the method developed by Toda-Yamamoto (1995). According to results of this analysis the competitive exchange rate strategy does not have a significant effect on savings. It is possible to conclude that reverse savings may be the cause of the competitive exchange rate. In other words, the preference for a competitive exchange rate strategy due to the lack of savings can be seen as significant in this study. In Turkey, like many other developing countries, steps to achieve economic development must be viewed not only through the lens of monetary policy but also from the perspective of planning that ensures policy coherence, given the country's chronic issues.
