The Insurance Agents Congress was hosted by the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB). In his speech at the opening of the Assembly, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Many recent disasters have once again shown that insurance is not a luxury but a necessity.”
Stating that the
insurance sector is the guarantee of Türkiye's economy, Hisarcıklıoğlu said:
“We must continue to raise awareness among our traders, industrialists, farmers
and all our people. We must offer them the most appropriate coverage and the
right policies. In case of damage, we must provide the insured with the fastest
and most reliable service. Only our agencies can provide all this. You help
people and companies manage their risks and provide them with protection.
Therefore, this system cannot grow without you. We have a lot more work to do
to grow the insurance sector. As long as you maintain your unity, there is no
problem you cannot solve. As I always say, there is grace in unity and anguish
in dissent.”
Levent Korkut, Chairman
of TOBB Insurance Agencies Executive Committee (SAİK), emphasized in his speech
that 2023 was a difficult year with the earthquake and that the importance of
insurance was once again made apparent with the earthquake. Mr. Korkut said
that the Congress was an important opportunity to discuss the problems and
solutions of the sector.
