Can new prime minister bring down inflation and public borrowing?

Article Abstract:

Turkey's new prime minister, Tansu Ciller, is likely to emphasize two economic issues: controlling inflation and improving the country's public finances. Specifically, Ciller must seek to reverse rising public sector borrowing and domestic debt stock. Although Ciller suggested drastically increasing the money supply as a cure for these problems, she is actually unlikely to pursue any major new departures in policy. As Turkey's first woman prime minister, Ciller is known for her ambition, political conservatism and rapid rise from obscurity to power.

Problems with the stabilization package are analyzed in detail.
