Receiving the TOBB Insurance Experts Executive Committee and representatives of the professional civil society organizations, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the insurance sector will play an important role if Turkey is to prosper and said that the sector still has much to offer in regards to employment and profit.

Stating that the sector representatives are indeed in the right sector, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, "We must discover the insurance sector before harm comes to us."

During the meeting also attended by the TOBB Board Vice President Ender Yorgancılar which took place at the TOBB Social Facilities, developments regarding the sector were discussed.

In his speech, Hisarcıklıoğlu stressed the fact the law passed in 2007 was indeed revolutionary and thanked Ali Babacan and Ahmet Genç for their contributions. Stating that success is easier to reach through unity and solidarity, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, "The sector moving in unity and solidarity will enable us to solve our problems."

Stating that the insurance sector has not yet the place it deserves in Turkey, the TOBB President said that the sector has an open road ahead of it.
