Hisarcıklıoğlu stated in his message:

“Natural disasters, which are increasing due to global warming, technological and economic developments, and our country’s geopolitical position, are increasing the variety, frequency, and severity of the risks we may face every day. No matter how strong its finances are, it is impossible for a business to bear the damage caused by these risks alone. The most effective and easiest way to protect our industrial facilities, commercial establishments, homes, vehicles, and most importantly, our health, is to insure them.

Insurance is not a cost factor, but rather a modern mutual aid system with historical roots, serving as an effective shield of protection. Taking precautions against potential risks in industrial and commercial enterprises and implementing effective risk management through insurance coverage to manage these risks is of great importance for business continuity and sustainable economic growth.

Technological developments, new business models in local and global markets, and regulations imposed by authorities have made the risks that may be encountered complex and complicated. Therefore, when taking out insurance, all insurance coverage required should be correctly defined in the policy, taking into account the nature of the activity carried out, its location, and relevant legal and administrative regulations. Our insurance agents provide 24/7 service with a team of over 50,000 experts to identify the insurance needs of our businesses and citizens and ensure that their risks are properly covered. Our impartial and independent insurance experts make the most significant contribution to ensuring that damage assessment processes are completed quickly and fairly. Insurance agents and experts organized under the umbrella of our Association within the Insurance Agents Executive Committee (SAİK) and the Insurance Experts Executive Committee (SEİK) continue to be the guarantors of a sustainable insurance system. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our SAİK and SEİK Chairpersons and Committee Members for their successful work in bringing the issues of our members in the insurance sector to the forefront in every setting and ensuring that many of these issues are resolved.

The development of the insurance sector, which complements all other sectors, will also contribute to our country’s economic growth. Increasing insurance rates and coverage will have a positive impact not only on the economy but also on social life. In this context, I sincerely congratulate our insurance agents and insurance experts, as well as our entire insurance sector, employees, and policyholders on the 14^th Insurance Week, which is celebrated with various events throughout the country, and I wish them healthy and secure days.”
