THE PRESIDENCY OF STATE INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS HAS
ANNOUNCED THE CERTAIN RESULTS OF THE OFFICIAL FLOWS OF
TURKEY IN 2002 AND PRELAMINIARY RESULTS OF
THE OFFICIAL FLOWS OF TURKEY IN 2003



Official Flows of Turkey was 145 754 749 US $ in 2003. This total consists of Official Grants (38 709 309 US $), Payments to Multilateral Organizations (40 206 624 US $) and Other Official Flows (66 838 816 US $).






According to the classifications and standards of Development Assistance Committee (DAC), 26 425 105 US $ was paid to developing countries (Part I), 9 799 524 US $ was paid to transition countries (Part II) and 2 484 680 US $ was paid to other countries from the total official flows (145 754 749 US $).


A part of these official flows paid to the Part I countries in order to support development is called as Official Development Assistance (ODA). These payments are recorded as
    - grants (project and program aid, technical co-operation, developmental food aid, emergency aid, promotion of development, administrative costs and other),
    - non grant official development assistance (loans given by governmental agencies or private foundations, acquisition of equity and other),
    - payments to multilateral organizations (grants, subscriptions and concessional lendings).

These values are given in Table 3.

Furthermore, a part of these official flows paid to Part II countries in order to support development is called as Official Aid (OA).

These values are given in Table 4.



According to DAC standards, the ratio of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Gross National Product (GNP) is an important concept to observe the aid capacity and aid performance of the country. The ODA/GNP ratio is approximately 0.03% in Turkey (OECD average is 0.39%, target of United Nations is 0.70%).


Some part of Other Official Flows (40 890 566 US $) was transferred to Part I countries and remaining part of Other Official Flows (25 948 250 US $) was transferred to Part II countries in 2003. These values are given in Table 5.
