We aim for growth of over 4% this year

Trade Minister Ömer Bolat stated that they are responsible for making regulations to ensure fair, stable, and competitive market operations, saying, "While doing this, we are also responsible for inspection. We carry out these inspections with our teams. The more the market improves and operates in an organized manner, the happier we are, and our workload decreases in that sense." Minister Bolat participated in the 14th Economic Evaluation Meeting organized by the Anatolian Lions Businessmen Association (ASKON) at the association's headquarters. Bolat noted that they strive to find common sense, solutions, and produce solutions based on feedback and consultations taken from the business world at the grassroots level.

Stating that exports have declined globally but Turkey has managed to protect its exports despite the earthquake, Bolat said, "We are proactive in terms of imports. We are actively following a policy against informal imports that harm our domestic and national industrial production, employment, and foreign exchange reserves. We will continue to follow. We have only one interest. That is for our country's economy to be strong, not to be harmed, and for the prosperity of our people not to be harmed."

Bolat emphasized the importance of market supervision and regulations in trade, stating that Turkey has the fastest and most modern customs in the world. Indicating that the Ministry of Trade is an important ministry that concerns all sectors, Bolat said, "Trade chambers, industrial chambers, craftsmen's chambers, cooperatives are within our jurisdiction through sectoral regulations and regulations. We are responsible for making regulations to ensure fair, stable, and competitive market operations. While doing this, we are also responsible for inspection. We carry out these inspections with our teams. The more the market improves and operates in an organized manner, the happier we are, and our workload decreases in that sense. If there is chaos and fluctuations in the markets and manipulation and speculation activities, we are also responsible for intervening in them in the strongest way."

"We are making great efforts to increase vocational high schools" Stating that they are making great efforts to increase vocational high schools, vocational schools, and apprenticeship schools, Bolat said, "You complain that you cannot find workers, you cannot find qualified personnel to work, these complaints will decrease over time with this effort."

Bolat said, "In the new era, the European Union is in a constructive and positive trend with Turkey in terms of economy and trade. We also show the same will. We are trying to resolve some of the problems within the Customs Union. Our relations with Islamic countries are at an excellent level. Gulf countries are making a very serious effort in terms of investment and trade in Turkey. We also make the same effort."

"Developed economies are in a serious struggle with inflation"

ASKON President Orhan Aydın also mentioned the inflation problems in developed countries in the global markets. Aydın stated that global pandemics, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, and wars make it difficult to create predictable policies. He said, "In this context, we can see that developed economies are in a serious struggle with inflation globally, and in this context, we can see that they are resorting to savings measures and seeking solutions. Moreover, we can say that there is a decrease in confidence in the economy and employment in these countries. In addition to all these, we can state that the Ukraine-Russia war and climate change pose risks in the food sector, and the Israel-Palestine tension poses risks in the energy sector."
