The Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı , abbreviated to DPT , was formerly one of the most influential central authorities in Turkey . Its official name was Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Başbakanlığı Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı Müsteşarlığı . Translated, the official title means: "State Secretariat State Planning Office of the Prime Minister's Office of the Republic of Turkey". It was headed by a State Secretary . The Ministry of Development has performed this task since 2011 .

history

The DPT was founded after the military coup in 1960 on September 30th of the same year at the behest of the National Unity Committee . In the constitution of 1961 , the creation of development plans was given constitutional status. From 1963 the Council of Ministers drew up five-year plans (Beş Yıllık Kalkınma Planları), which were examined by the “High Planning Council” ( Yüksek Planlama Kurulu ) and the planning office was responsible for their implementation.

Due to the increasing liberalization of economic policy and the sale of the state-owned companies called Kamu iktisadi teşebbüsleri , the planning authority had lost its importance in the last few years of its existence. In June 2011, Law No. 641 in the newly created Ministry of Development ( T.C. Kalkınma Bakanlığı in Turkish ) passed it on.

tasks

The tasks of the DPT consisted of economic assessments, advice and support of development plans, observation of public expenditure, advisory function in the area of ​​money and financial markets, participation in contacts and discussions with international institutions.
