8 Recent Fiscal Problems in Transitional Economies Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations and the Degree of Fiscal Decentralizations in Kyrgyz Republic Asst.Prof. Seyfi YILDIZ (Ph.D) Kyrgyzstan Turkey MANAS University Yasar AYYILDIZ (M.A.) Republic of Turkey, Ministry of National Education Abstract One of the first decrees of independent Kyrgyzstan was the Law on Local Selfgovernment and Local Public Administration, adopted 19 April 1991, which transferred local government powers to local councils. According to this Law, local self governments and local state administrations carry out activities based on the division of functions and powers of representative, executive and regulatory bodies. It is difficult to determine the optimal fiscal decentralization but there are two ways of this; First of them is to look at and compare the statistical data of the country before and after the reform period about localization. The other way is to compare the statistical data of different Countries about the localization. In this study the first way was chosen and so the degree of the decentralization was determined. Last 15 years after the sovereignty, for the degree of the decentralization, the proportion of the local revenues to GDP was stated. At the conclusion, it is reached that the degree of the decentralization is not as optimal as wanted or not very high. Because of while distributing of the state power, the equal revenue resources was not given to the local authorities. Key Words : Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations, Fiscal Decentralization, Degree of the Fiscal Decentralization. JEL Codes : H77. October 24-27, 2007 / Bishkek - Kyrgyzstan 51
