Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB), said of the package of economic measures announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, “The extraordinary rises in exchange rates have been prevented. Stability in financial markets has increased. We support the steps that establish confidence in the Turkish lira and strengthen stability.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu told
reporters that the package of economic measures announced by President Erdoğan
was very positively welcomed by the real sector.
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated
that the steps taken were appropriate and improved morale, “The statement also
showed its positive impact on the markets. Extraordinary rises in exchange
rates have been prevented. Stability in financial markets has increased. We
support the steps that establish confidence in the Turkish lira and strengthen
stability. We consider the decision to apply the minimum wage tax deduction to
everyone, the acceleration of returns through VAT regulation, the Corporate Tax
reduction and the new Credit Guarantee Fund package very important and
beneficial.”
Noting the importance
of President Erdoğan's emphasis that Turkey's economy will continue to move
within the rules of the free market, Hisarcıklıoğlu noted:
“Because the rumors
that someone is trying to spread especially online have been prevented. The
strength of the Turkish economy comes from the freedom of enterprise and
entrepreneurial power. Gaziantep is the greatest proof of this. Our 365
chambers and commodity exchanges have always believed in the power of Turkey,
and we will always do. Those who invest in Turkey have always won, and I hope
that those who invest and trust in our country will always win.”
