- Opportunity for Türkiye
March 31, 2024 General
Elections for Local Authorities have been completed. May the results be
beneficial to our country and nation. First of all, I would like to thank
everyone who went to the polls and cast their votes, who protected the future
of our country and democracy. I congratulate the elected Mayors. With the local
elections behind us, a 4-year election-free period is an important opportunity
for our country.
- Fighting inflation
There are many steps to
be taken and much work to be done in the economy. We must focus on the fight
against inflation with all our strength. The fight against inflation will be
more successful with the coordination of monetary and fiscal policies. Price
stability and financial stability will strengthen predictability. Thus,
investments with high technology content and added value will increase.
- Structural reforms
It is also important
that our country's production power is preserved and the sustainability of
firms is not harmed. We must take effective and decisive steps on structural
reforms. Reforms in many areas such as vocational training, employment
policies, tax reform, increasing the operational efficiency of the judiciary,
strengthening the institutional infrastructure, increasing the earthquake
resistance of our cities, creating new industrial basins, bringing key
technologies to our country, and preparing our country for green and digital
transformation await us.
- 86 million people, unity of hands, unity of mind
Now, regardless of our
political views, it is time to respect the decision of our nation and to march
towards our bright future in unity and solidarity with 86 million people, with
unity of hands and unity of mind.
- Happier, more prosperous Türkiye
In the first century of
our Republic, we reached the top league in product and market diversity. Now it
is time to work harder for a more peaceful, happier and more prosperous Türkiye
in its second century. As the business world, we will work for more production,
investment, employment and exports.
