of mechanisms to reduce employment costs and increasing attractiveness of
investment.
We also believe that
these steps, especially in addressing our SMEs, will be reflected in the growth
performance of the economy positively and will increase propensity for growth.
We were also very
pleased with the fact that many of the subjects we, the Union of Chambers and
Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, have shared with our government to date have
been passed on to improve the business and investment environment of production
sectors.
As the real sector
enters a new year, sharing these with the public is positive and promising for
the future. In 2017, hope will be dominant instead of uncertainty for the real
sector.
We thank our
government for showing that it stands with the real sector in these difficult
days.

country, our economy and our entrepreneurs.
As the Union of

country and the dynamism of our private sector, we will continue to do our
duty, work diligently and continue to produce even more in order to have these
steps taken by our government to reflect unto the economy.”
