This judgment is also very valid for Turkey, which is the only Afro- Eurasian country in the world, a candidate for the European Union, a G- 20 economy and one of the emerging economies. The subject and purpose of this study is to examine the monetary, interest and exchange rate policies in Turkey on the basis of primary development plans. Five- yearly development plans covering all main and sub- sectors have been prepared in Turkey since 1963, but after the famous IMF stability decisions dated January 24, 1980, which ensured the transformation to liberal- global capitalism in macroeconomics, other development plans remained at a formal or symbolic level. Here, the monetary and development targets achieved and the handicaps encountered in the first 20- year "planned development" period, which included 4 development plans prepared between 1963- 1983, are analyzed. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
