Assessing the Medium Term Program (2015-2017, OVP) announced today, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We consider the Medium Term Program prepared by our government during this time of surfacing uncertainty in the global economy to be very important. It will act as a lighthouse. It should also be put on a schedule and put into action accordingly.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu said:
“We consider the Medium Term Program prepared by our government during
this time of surfacing uncertainty in the global economy to be very important.
OVP will act as a lighthouse for our private sector and markets during this
time of global uncertainty. When the current financial and political situation
is taken into consideration, these are ambitious goals.
OVP contains important assessments in regards to Turkey’s economy.
Focused on as the three structural problems within the economy are inflation,
current deficit and growth. Action plans for addressing these are issues which
we have emphasized and demanded as TOBB.
That is we are waiting for these to be put on a schedule and put into
action accordingly. This way, Turkey’s economy and the Turkish private sector
will continue on its path to the 2023 goals. We believe that this will also
revitalize the momentum of reforms.
Aiming for a more balanced period of growth and steps to strengthen the
industry will aid in maintaining Turkey’s economic stability. To this end, it
is pleasing to see the private sector come to the forefront, as it is the main
component for growth. We eagerly await the taking of steps to complete the
structural transformation of the real sector and industry in order to achieve
strong growth spearheaded by the private sector.”
