TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Leaders of the Business World Award Ceremony hosted by the Yalova Chamber of Commerce and Industry and said in his speech. “There will be two types of cheques in circulation. One will be the regular cheque while the other will be a QR coded cheque. QR coded cheques will allow you to view the transaction history of the person or establishment issuing the cheque, enabling you to conduct safer commerce.”
Emphasizing that one of the most problematic issues in trade is
dishonored cheques, TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “You all complain about
dishonored cheques. None of us wanted the removal of prison sentences for
crimes involving cheques but the conditions necessitated its implementation.
Cheque installments are only found in Turkey.” Reporting that prison capacity
is well below the number of files in the legislative process in regards to
cheque issues, Hisarcıklıoğlu touched on the matter of QR coded cheques.
“We have conducted a meeting on this matter with Deputy Prime Minister
Ali Babacan and the Union of Banks Chairman, agreeing on many issues. There
will be two types of cheques in circulation. One will be the regular cheque
while the other will be a QR coded cheque. QR coded cheques will allow you to
view the transaction history of the person or establishment issuing the cheque,
enabling you to conduct safer commerce. You can choose which cheque you want to
use.”
Also reminding that due insurance has been implemented, Hisarcıklıoğlu
said, “Due insurance insures all of your income form transactions which you
insure. You insure 99.5% of your dues with only 0.5%.”
- Domestic product certification
Hisarcıklıoğlu encouraged domestic investors to take part in public
tenders and said, “The President of the Republic of Turkey, during his term as
Prime Minister, sent out three memos to call for a 15% price advantage for
domestic goods. Afterwards, in February, this was passed as law. This is
imperative for the development of industry. Please make use of this
opportunity. You should be looking to see what you can provide the public
administration.”
- Yalova TSO Chairman Becan
Yalova TSO Chairman Tahsin Becan provided information in regards to
Yalova’s economy as well as the chamber’s endeavors.
Becan stated that Yalova TSO is an accredited 5-star chamber, providing
service on par with any found in Europe.
