More production, more export with common sense
Stating that there are always ups and downs in the economy, TİM President Mustafa Gültepe said, “I think we have come to the end of the downswings for the Turkish economy. Our future is bright. "As long as we act together and produce," he said.
Mustafa Gültepe, President of the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TİM), said that the downturn in the Turkish economy has come to an end and said, “Our future is bright. "Hopefully we will break new records," he said.
Speaking at the iftar program organized by Laleli Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (LASİAD), Gültepe stated that there are always ups and downs in the economy, and that Turkey came to an end with a long period without elections after the local elections.
Stating that they are doing 'good work' with teamwork with sectoral associations, Gültepe said, "We have no concerns about reaching the export target of 375 billion dollars in 2028. As long as we act together with common sense, consultation and production. "If we provide these, our sectors will receive much more energy, many more producers, much more employment and much more exports," he said. We are focusing on markets where we are not present. Stating that TİM and İHKİB broke records in terms of trade delegations and participation in international fairs in 2023, Gültepe said, “By increasing our trade delegations not only in ready-made clothing but also in all sectors, we especially focused on the markets we have not visited or reached. This year, we will work to further develop the Americas, Africa, Russia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan regions. "We will continue to introduce our exporters to the world and open them to new markets through the export fairs we hold," he said.
The issue that Mustafa Gültepe particularly emphasized in achieving the goals was cooperation and acting together. On the other hand, LASİAD President Giyaseddin Eyüpkoca, who made a speech at the iftar program, stated that the Ukraine-Russia war hit 'passenger sales'.
Stating that Laleli tradesmen were negatively affected by Israel's attack on Palestine after the Russian war, Eyüpkoca explained that Israel's attack created uneasiness and uncertainty in the Middle East market.
Noting that expenditures were cut for this reason, Eyüpkoca said, “The fact that Israel is attacking left and right causes anxiety in the Gulf countries. All concerns and concerns continue in the region. Due to the impact of the Russian War, the Polish, Romanian and Moldova markets are negatively affected. As a result of all these, there is a visible and perceptible crisis in trade. "Our sector is the first to be affected by crises and the last to recover," he said. Eyüpkoca also gave the good news that, as LASİAD, they have built a school in Adıyaman and that the school will be opened in 2 months.
