Summary/Abstract: The monetary policy of the 2002-2007 period in Turkey is empirically analysed in this study. The monetary policy reaction function for January 2002-December 2007 period is estimated in order to do this. With the usage of reaction function, the way how monetary policy reacted against inflation, output gap and exchange rate in this period is measured. According to the findings reached at the end of these analysis, monetary policy sharply reacts to the expected inflation’s deviating from the target. The findings of this study showed that monetary policy does not react to the output gap. Analysis done by using four different currency variables showed that during the referred period of the study, monetary policy does not react to the exchange rate as well.
