Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his new year’s message:

“The region in which we are located has, unfortunately, had a very difficult year. We always say that real prosperity requires trade and investment. Investment and commerce require most of all peace.

Globally, it is a very tumultuous period. As the business community, we remain optimistic. The Turkish private sector’s dynamism and appetite for investment will overcome these issues.

Turkey is entering a new year with no more elections. This is a great opportunity for enacting the structural reforms required by the economy. I believe that if we are able to take advantage of this opportunity, Turkey’s star will once again shine.

I hope that the new year will have capacity for more tolerance, love, understanding and success. On behalf of the Turkish business community, I wish everyone health, peace and happiness.”
