The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the TOBB Turkey Construction Contractors Sector Council meeting and listened to the problems.
Hisarcıklıoğlu
stressed that the contracting sector has a very important place in the economy,
“Our capital accumulation map in Turkey is the transition from farming to
trades, from trades to merchants, from contracting to industry and tourism
sector. If a capital accumulation is to be created in Turkey, the contracting
sector is the most important sector. Behind the industry and tourism there is
the construction sector. That's the general trend.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu,
the contracting sector is a sector that stores employment, stating, “If the
unemployment figures are so high, the most important reason for this is the
stopping of the construction sector. If the construction sector is moving, Turkey's
unemployment figures will automatically go down. It also mobilizes about 250
industrial subsectors.”
The
TOBB President noted that the sector has begun to move a little with the banks
having lowered interest rates.

Turkey's Construction Contractors Sector Council President Tahir Tellioğlu also
