TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu celebrated the “Insurance Week” held during the last week of May every year in order to raise awareness to insurance.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his statement:
“One of the main factors of economic growth and increasing trade in the
modern world is the insurance system. This is because economy and trade involve
risk. There is no profit without risk.
In today’s global competition, the effective use of resources, business
finance, healthy operation of production processes, safe and fast delivery of
goods and services to consumers is of the utmost importance for industry and
merchants. It could turn out that the cost of the risks for all of these
processes prove too much for producers, merchants and consumers.
That is where the insurance sector comes in and takes on the risks of
all parties. So, merchants and industrialists can focus on producing more and
growing.
The growth of our country’s insurance sector should be supported; our
children and entrepreneurs should be given an awareness of savings and risk
management. We must prevent the waste of years of accumulation with a single
error with the insurance sector.
It is with these thoughts and sentiments that I celebrate the Insurance
Week of all the business community, especially the insurance agencies and
experts organized as a part of our Union.”
