The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of the Insurance Week, which will be held between May 23 and 29.
Hisarcıklıoğlu included
the following statements in his message:
“One of the most
important factors determining the level of development of countries is the
insurance awareness in that country and the level of development of the
insurance sector. Turkey has a growing economy centered on the private sector.
In order to ensure the development, institutionalization and sustainable growth
of the private sector in our country, financial assets and commercial risks
must be insured. The Turkish insurance sector is in a position to protect all
our risks and respond to our needs. The sector has strong and qualified
institutions that are also envied and exemplified such as the Special Risks
Management Center, the Insurance Arbitration Commission, DASK, Tarsim, Information,
Surveillance and Training Centers.
The pandemic process,
climate change, economic and political fluctuations in the global arena and the
chaos in neighboring countries increase our need for insurance day by day. On
the other hand, insurance is not a product which can be bought when risks materialize.
Therefore, let's insure the future from today, let's not risk our savings and
values.
Let's not forget that
large investments are made with small savings. In the Private Pension System,
which converts our savings into investments, a significant state contribution
of 30% is offered. Thanks to this system, our capital accumulation is
increasing, entrepreneurs and investors can reach the long-term financing they
need more easily and economically. Thanks to the development in the Private
Pension System, the financing of growth will be facilitated, thus increasing
employment and investments. With this system, while the savings of our citizens
will grow, their future will be secured.
Agencies and appraisers
organized under the umbrella of our Association within the Insurance Agencies
Executive Committee (SAIK) and Insurance Appraisers Executive Committee (SEIK)
make significant contributions to the healthy development of the insurance
sector in Turkey. On this occasion, I would also like to congratulate our SAIK
and SEİK Presidents and Committee Members on another successful period of
activity and who have brought the problems of our insurer members to the agenda
in every situation and have solved many of them.
Insurance adjusters
have a great share in the development of the Private Pension System, the spread
of insurance to the base, its accessibility and the provision of the right
coverages, the determination of the risks of the insurance agencies and the
justice between the insurance companies and the insured in the event of a
damage. As the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, we provide
all manner of support in order to ensure that the members of both professions
can look to the future with more confidence, that minimum standards and
professional discipline are maintained and thus contribute more to the sector.
I sincerely
congratulate the Insurance Week of our entire insurance sector, employees and
insured, especially our insurance agencies and insurance adjusters we work
with, and wish them healthy and peaceful days.”
