Public finance and privatization

Discussions on the role of the state on the economy are mostly about what level of intervention should be. One of the tools used by the state to intervene in the economy is public expenditures.In our country, public expenditures increased continuously after 1990. As a result of this serious increase in public expenditures, the problem of public finance has emerged. In order to provide public financing, a privatization method was used in addition to taxes, non-tax revenues, borrowing and monetization method. The privatization method, which is preferred as a public financing tool, has many effects in terms of its economic results. In this study, it will be investigated whether the revenues obtained from privatization, which is seen as an accidental income, are an important source of income in the financing of public expenditures in our country. I In addition, the financial effects of privatizations, as well as the efficiency, productivity and economic effects in resource use, will be subjected to descriptive analysis within the framework of literature sources. For this purpose, statistical data on privatization revenues, tax revenues and non-tax revenues for certain years will be used. The effectiveness of privatization in the world and in our country will be discussed in terms of various countries.
