The economic policies implemented after the unification of Germany on 3rd of November 1990 have not been adequately investigated in the Turkish economic literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success of the economic polices pursued after the unification and to find out the causes of why the targeted degree of integration could not be achieved. In particular, it tries to determine to what extent the goals have been fulfilled in terms of the monetary union, the privatization policies, the investment subsidies, the transfer expenditures as well as some important macro economic indicators such as economic growth, unemployment and export. The overvalued exchange rate level deteriorated the ability of competitiveness of the East German public enterprises. While some of the East German states public enterprises were privatized quickly, a considerable part of them was liquidated. Despite of subventions and transfer expenditures, the development gap still maintains its importance.
