There was no tension in Turkey’s relations with the IMF

“We are now negotiating with the Fund to change the date of the sixth review,” said the economy minister. “The fourth review of the program was very important, since it determined details of the program for the first time and we faced some difficulty and disagreements, but we wrote what we believed was appropriate in the letter of intent (LOI).” Babacan added that he hoped Turkey wouldn’t need to borrow money from the IMF after next year.
