Real Sector and Finance Sector Dialogue Strengthening Meeting was held in Kocaeli.
In
a statement to the press before the meeting, the Union of Chambers and
Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, “TOBB,
together with TBB, is accomplishing a first. We are organizing dialogue strengthening
meetings in Anatolia.”
Stating
that they are now gathered in Kocaeli after Denizli, Konya, Izmir, Istanbul,
Kayseri, Diyarbakır and Adana, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “In addition to Kocaeli, the
business communities of Sakarya, Yalova, Düzce, Bolu, Zonguldak, Karabuk and
Bartın are also here. Our banks have taken to the field to listen to the
troubles of the real sector. We all of us would like to thank, Mr. Hüseyin
Aydın, the President of TBB who has been spearheading this endeavor.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
emphasized that the real sector and financial sector understood each other
better and developed common solutions thanks to these meetings. “We will
overcome this troubled period by working together. Both sectors need to be
strengthened. We have forwarded our suggestions to the government and continue
to do so. It is of vital importance that the real sector, and especially SMEs,
have access to financial tools.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
said that there have already been positive developments in the economy in the
recent period, but the recovery in the economy is not yet at the desired point.
Stating
that tax cuts have been implemented in 4 sectors, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that
these measures have given morale to the markets.
