We have always recorded positive growth in the last 23 years. We have experienced an average annual real growth of 5.4 percent. We have been through great difficulties, we have overcome them all. We are always in turbulent, chaotic periods. In this period, countries that can maintain stability, have a strong economy and ensure social peace rise and shine rapidly. Everyone wants to see that place as their address. Of course, there is also the fact that this is what we are experiencing. “As a result of our economic development in society, we managed to become the 16th largest economy in the world with a value of 1.6 trillion dollars in 23 years. We were the 21st in 2002. We reached an export figure of 400 billion dollars in goods and services, an increase of approximately 8 times. In addition, we increased from 19.5 million to 32.5 million jobs.”

TRUST IS VERY IMPORTANT
Underlining the importance of trust in life, Minister Bolat said, “Trust is very important in business life, trust is very important in politics, trust is very important in social life and family life. Who wants to do business with someone who is unreliable, not loyal to their debts, or a fraudster? They don’t want to. Therefore, let’s try to be on the side of employees, producers, and the truthful, and let’s organize in voluntary organizations like the example of TÜGVA and get stronger there. I wish you all success.”
