The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Mediterranean Region meeting held via video conference and held consultations with the heads of regional chambers/exchanges.

Hisarcıklıoğlu, noting that since the beginning of the epidemic, the chamber-commodity exchange presidents have been interpreters for the problems of their members, said, "Thanks to all these efforts, in March, we presented the 70-item proposal set to our President. Most of them have come to life, and they continue to pass. The latest, the VAT rate in the education sector has been lowered. The period of benefit from the short work allowance has been extended to 31 October. A new county-based restructuring has been initiated in the Investment Incentive system. Of course, there are many other issues we're following. Other than that, now, we're going to put everything you're going to convey on our agenda. We will continue to follow up with the relevant Ministeries.”
