Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

At the meeting hosted by Bitlis Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Davut Tezcan, Hisarcıklıoğlu listened to the problems and solution proposals and exchanged views with the representatives of the regional business world.

Stating that they came to Bitlis to consult and listen to the views of the business world of the region, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Our main goal here is to listen to you. As you know, during the pandemic, we' were able to acquire much support for our members. President Davut has been an interpreter for your grievances and those of our members. He brought us all your troubles and demands. As TOBB, we discussed these and conveyed them to the relevant ministers. And we've had results from a lot of them. But of course our troubles are not over.

There's more work to be done. That's what we're here for today. What is the situation in the market, what are the problems, what should be done, tell us here, and we will take it to the relevant places.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu said that they conveyed the increase in input costs, the problems in accessing credit, high energy prices, fertilizer and feed in agriculture to the relevant Ministers and said: “Apart from these, we will now take what you have to say on our agenda. We will continue to follow up and work to finalize it. Remember, this is our mission. In the meantime, we built a primary school and a sports hall in Bitlis, and now, at the request of our President Davut, we are also bringing a school to Bitlis. We started construction, but there was a delay due to the pandemic, but hopefully we will finish it quickly and open it together.”
