In this respect, our baseline forecasts take the Medium Term Program as given and thus assume that fiscal discipline will be maintained. A revision in the monetary policy stance may be considered, should the fiscal stance deviate significantly from this framework and consequently have an adverse effect on the medium-term inflation outlook. We will continue to focus on price stability in the formulation of the monetary policy while preserving financial stability as a supplementary objective. To this end, we will carefully assess the impact of the macroprudential measures taken by the CBRT and other institutions on the inflation outlook. We are of the opinion that strengthening the structural reform agenda that would ensure the sustainability of the fiscal discipline and reduce the saving deficit would support the relative improvement of Turkey’s sovereign risk, and thus facilitate price stability and financial stability in the medium term. This will also provide more flexibility for monetary policy and contribute to social welfare by keeping interest rates of long-term government securities at low levels. In this respect, I would like to end my remarks reminding you the  10  BIS central bankers’ speeches  importance of the steps towards implementation of the structural reforms envisaged by the Medium Term Program. Thank you very much for your participation. BIS central bankers’ speeches  11

These attributes, complemented by Malta’s favorable geographical position and climate, make the island a profitable place to do business from. 4  BIS Review 31/2004
