The financial liberalisation process of Turkey will be discussed in an international context with reference to its past and future. Turkey has been going through a Financial Liberalisation Process for about three decades now. The Turkish liberalisation process similar to its international counterparts has been in cycles of high growth followed by financial crises. The economic system the Turkish Republic inherited from the Ottoman Empire will be discussed as the basis of the financial and economic processes Turkey has adopted. The financial liberalisation experiences of emerging markets will be discussed as the environment which Turkish financial markets and economic agents are operating now. The European Union and Turkey's accession talks will be evaluated in terms of their financial and economic impacts for both Turkey and Europe.
