The President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu visited the Ordu Commodity Exchange and consulted with the members of the Assembly.
In his speech during
the visit, Hisarcıklıoğlu said that he knows the problems experienced by the
business world and that he conveyed the demands to the government.
Emphasizing that there
are problems in the economy, but the target is to go down to single-digit
inflation, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “After going down to single-digit inflation,
both pensioners, our working brothers and sisters and the business world will
be able to see their way forward. It is not possible to calculate anything in
high inflation. The biggest disease is this high inflation.”
Pointing out that they
support the recent steps taken by the government, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We want
single-digit inflation as soon as possible, as in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Because
the solution to the financial and cost problems of the business world is
single-digit inflation.”
Explaining that bank
managers used to queue up at the door and ask to give loans, Hisarcıklıoğlu
said, “Now, on the contrary, we are in the queue in front of the managers. In
the past, they used to come to us.”
Evaluating Türkiye's
removal from the gray list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF),
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “One of the important steps Türkiye took was to get out of
this gray list. Praise Allah, we have overcome this, too. It is very easy to
get in and very difficult to get out. You can only get out with the unanimous
vote of all the countries here. This means that we have taken the right steps
and got out of the gray list.”
Referring to the
importance of Ordu-Giresun Airport, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “I also contributed a
little to the construction of this airport. We had some difficulties, but
praise Allah, Ordu and Giresun provinces have a common airport.”
Drawing attention to
the Samsun-Sarp Railway Project, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “This is very important.
From now on, as long as there are these people in the Black Sea, you will have
this railroad built. The heads of chambers and commodity exchanges are already
working together from Samsun to Hopa.”
