The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu visited the Anamur Chamber of Commerce and Industry and consulted with the Council Members.
Stating that their main
purpose in coming to Anamur is to listen to the troubles and demands,
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We have worked with our Chamber Presidents during the
pandemic and provided many supports for you. My brother Feridun also became an
interpreter for your troubles. He brought us all your troubles and demands. We
have conveyed them to the relevant ministers and followed them up and we have
obtained results from many of them.”
Emphasizing that the
troubles are not over, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “There is more work to be done.
That's what we're here for today. What is the situation in the market, what
issues cause problems, what should be done; tell us here and we will take it to
the relevant places. We convey to the Ministers the increase in our input
costs, the difficulties in accessing credit, the high energy prices, the fact
that fertilizer and feed have become very expensive in agriculture.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu, stating
that the need for working capital of companies has increased due to high
inflation, “We also tell the government that new loan and KGF surety loan
packages are needed to support them. We expect a new package on this to come
out soon. Here we organized an Economy Council in Ankara 2 days ago. Our Vice
President and 5 Ministers came. We told them about your problems for 5-6 hours.
Remember, this is our duty; the work of execution belongs to the government.
Now, we will put what you have to say on our agenda. Together with Council
President Feridun, we will continue to follow up with them and work to conclude
them.”
Reminding that Anamur
Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an accredited chamber, Hisarcıklıoğlu said,
“In other words, it has confirmed and documented at the international level
that it offers 5-star service. They provide the same quality service as Paris,
Berlin and London chambers. I would also like to congratulate our Chamber for
this vision.”
Stating that Anamur has
a new state and OIZ demand, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “President Feridun is
following these closely and receives the support of Mersin Municipality. At the
request of our President Feridun, we are undertaking beautiful work in Anamur.
Now we have decided to build a TOBB School in Anamur. Good luck.”
Feridun Torunoğlu,
Council President of Anamur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, thanked
Hisarcıklıoğlu for his services. Torunoğlu gave information about the geography
and economy of Anamur.
