313 Provincial Delegates elected by the 15,394 Insurance Agencies operating throughout the country elected the 40 Insurance Agencies which would go on to serve at the Insurance Agencies Sector Council at the elections held at the TOBB University of Economics and Technology campus.
Addressing the
provincial delegates prior to the elections for the TOBB Turkey Insurance
Agencies Sector, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu pointed out that a new
organization was established under TOBB 7 years ago, “It has shown us in the
last 7 years that our decision was the correct one. Great strides have been
taken towards the development of the sector, disciplining itself, the training
of its professionals as well the increasing client satisfaction.”
Stating that
insurance is a primary tool in growing economies and increasing trade,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Trade means risk. Without risk, there is no profit. As
economies grow, as figures grow, the ability to take risks diminishes.
If we are to reach
our 2023 goals – that is to say, if we are to grow our economy and make every
one of our citizens 2.5 times richer – we must spread awareness in regards to
insurance.”
