Ekonomik
ve Parasal Birlik (EMU)’te üye ülkelerin maliye politikalarının
uyumlaştırılması amacıyla Maastricht kriterleri ve ardından İstikrar ve Büyüme
Paktı (SGP) ile birtakım kriterler getirilmiştir. Üye ülkelerden büyük olanlar
mali kuralları (kriterleri) EMU’nin kuruluşundan önce ve sonra birçok kez ihlal
etmişlerdir. Kurallara uymakta zorluk çeken büyük ülkeler SGP’de revizyona
gidilmesini istemiş ve SGP kuralları bir miktar gevşetilmiştir. Bu gelişmelerin
sonucu olarak büyük üye ülkelerin mali kurallara uyumda zorlanması ile ilgili
literatürde birtakım nedenler tartışılmıştır. Bu nedenler, politik, ekonomik ve
kurumsal faktörlerden oluşmaktadır. Küçük ülkelerin Maastricht ve SGP ile gelen
mali kurallara uyum göstermesi ve büyük ülkelerin bu kuralları sürekli ihlal
etmesinin altında yatan temel nedenleri araştıran bu çalışmada Türkiye adına birtakım çıkarımlar yapılmıştır.

Why Large Countrıes Violate the Fiscal Rules in the Economıc and Monetary Union?

Öz

To coordinate the fiscal policies of the Member States of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), some criteria have been set with Maastricht and the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP). Larger Member States have violated the Code many times before and after the establishment of the EMU. Larger countries that have difficulty in meeting the fiscal rules (criteria) have requested the revision of the SGP and hence the rules of the SGP have been relaxed. Because of these developments, several reasons have been discussed in the literature on the difficulty of major member states with fiscal rules. These reasons consist of political, economic and institutional factors. In this study, it is researched the underlying reasons of compliance of small countries with fiscal rules of Maastricht and SGP and continual violation of these rules by larger countries and some deductions have been made for Turkey.
