TİM Chairman Mustafa Gültepe: "With 115,000 Exporters, We Wholeheartedly Endorse The Campaign Against Inflation"

Mustafa Gültepe, Chairman of the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TİM), announced that they wholeheartedly supported the call for a campaign against inflation made by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Minister of Trade Prof. Dr. Ömer Bolat with 61 export unions.  

Emphasizing that the high cost of living adversely affects all segments of society, Gültepe pointed out that TİM stands behind every step taken to overcome this issue. Highlighting that a significant portion of exporters also engage in production for the domestic market, Gültepe continued:

"In the second century of our Republic, we must remove concepts like inflation and the high cost of living from our country's agenda. It would be a great injustice to expect results by leaving the fight against this to certain segments. Therefore, we must demonstrate a collective determination in this struggle. Everyone, from the market to the farmer, from the industrialist to the retailer, must do their part. Inflation not only affects income distribution but also has an adverse impact on macroeconomic indicators. At the end of the day, Türkiye will be the winner of this battle. On the other hand, we are well aware of the difficulty of making investments and planning in an inflationary environment, as well as the challenge of maintaining prices. Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the campaign initiated by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and tirelessly worked on by our Minister of Trade Prof Dr. Ömer Bolat, with our 115,000 exporters. Our companies, which operate in both exports and the domestic market, will support the campaign through the discounts they offer."

Mustafa Gültepe added that he believes Türkiye will emerge successfully from this challenging test with all segments working together.
