Özet:

In the last 30 year period, the arrangements towards the central bank independence have been made in order to ensure and maintain macroeconomic stability in many countries. While the central banks focus on the goal of price stability, the importance of fiscal discipline has increased due to the effects of fiscal policy on macroeconomic stability. However, expansionary policies implemented since the 2008 global financial crisis have led to a new debt crisis in the European Union, especially in the economic and monetary union countries. While the expansionary effect of fiscal policies becomes prominent in the anti-crisis policies, the interaction of monetary and fiscal policies has become more questionable. In this study is evaluated the reflections of the central bank independence on the implementation of fiscal policy and public debt stock in the EMU countries. The results of the study show that the increase in central bank independence has positive and significant effect on public debt in Euro Area.
