02 October 2020 Friday
The Union of Chambers and Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and Industry and Technology Minister Varank met with the Presidents of 365 Chambers and Exchanges of TOBB online and consulted on incentives and issues on the agenda.
TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said at the meeting that a very important breakthrough in the investment incentive system has been implemented in the last period, “As you know, for years, we have been saying that the incentive system on every platform should be county-based, to no result. Mustafa Varank, our Minister, has undertaken a monumental step in this area and started county-based incentives for the first time.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu, at the opening of the meeting organized via videoconference, stated that the great importance Varank puts on the industry and his vision for the national technology move to elevate Turkey to a higher league gives them greater motivation to work and to look to the future in this critical period.
Noting that they are working closely with Minister Varank on Turkey's prestige project Turkey's Automobile Enterprise Group which aims to roll out the first car from the production line in 2022, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that they faced many difficulties, but Varank's support has been very important and valuable in the project reaching its launching point.
