Breaking news | Message from President Erdoğan to the business world! “The biggest winner of this will be Türkiye”
“OUR DEFENSE EXPORTS INCREASED BY 29.5 PERCENT IN THE FIRST 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR”
Stating that another success of theirs was the increase in the export share of medium and high technology products, Erdoğan continued as follows:
“Our exports of medium-high and high-tech products, which were 10 billion dollars in 2002, increased to 112 billion dollars in 2025. This positive picture continues in 2026. Our annualized exports of medium-high and high-tech manufacturing industry products reached 114.4 billion dollars. Our defense and aerospace exports increased by more than 40 percent in the last 23 years and exceeded 10 billion dollars in 2025. This field, which is the symbol of our high value-added production, “We see that the momentum continues very strongly. According to the latest data, defense and aerospace exports increased by 29 percent in the January-May period, reaching 3 billion 863 million dollars. Thus, there was a 29.5 percent increase in our defense exports in the first 5 months of the year. We reached the level of 992 million dollars in monthly exports in the same sector.”
President Erdoğan stated that there was a temporary slowdown in foreign trade data in May due to the holiday effect, but the ratio of exports to imports increased, and said, “More importantly, the share of medium-high and high-tech products in our exports reached 44 percent. We believe that we will regain a strong momentum in exports with the elimination of the calendar effect in June. The positive trend on the growth front still continues. Despite the painful atmosphere that affects the whole world, including developed countries, as Türkiye, we have been continuing our growth uninterrupted for 23 quarters.” made his assessment.
Erdoğan stated that they hope to achieve the expected inflation rates as the shock waves in energy prices caused by the global crisis triggered by the Iran war calm down.
Stating that he wanted to underline a fact, Erdoğan said, “In the climate of uncertainty that the global economy is going through, our country’s greatest chance is the environment of stability and trust that we have achieved by paying heavy prices during the period of our governments since 2002. The existence of an environment of stability and trust makes it easier to solve all kinds of problems, no matter how complicated, or to find a solution. Moreover, the presence of experienced, visionary and well-coordinated staff at work in Türkiye is a historical asset to our country in managing all these global and regional challenges.” It gives an advantage.” he said.
“WE DEFEND RIGHTS AND JUSTICE WITHOUT HESITING FROM ANYONE”
President Erdoğan stated that while Türkiye benefits from the asymmetric opportunities offered by stability in politics, the main problem in many countries of the world is the issue of butterfly-lived governments that dissolve before even completing their year in office.
Emphasizing that Westerners today face this problem, which they experienced frequently in the 70s and 90s and resolved in 2002, Erdoğan said, “As a result of this, while they cannot properly cope with even a single crisis, we struggle with many problems at the same time on different fronts and manage them successfully. While keeping our country away from conflicts, we take an active part in peace efforts and defend rights and justice without hesitation from anyone.” he said.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that they are aware of the difficulties experienced in accessing finance and said, “In our cabinet meeting on Monday, while discussing the current situation of the Turkish economy, we also discussed the financing issue in detail. We gave the necessary instructions to the economic management to carry out a comprehensive study, taking into account past experiences on this issue.” he said.
Speaking at the 39th General Assembly of the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEIK) and the Respect for Masters Award Ceremony, Erdogan said that everyone, friend and foe, now has to accept the reality of Turkey, which makes its power felt on the field as well as on the table.
Erdoğan stated that Türkiye increases its brand value on a global scale as it solves chronic problems such as terrorism, tutelage and instability, and stated that he finds the sensitivity of the business world to maintain an environment of stability and trust very meaningful in this regard.
Underlining that both the government and the alliance will continue to do their part to protect and strengthen this climate, Erdoğan said, “In this period when global and regional crises are constant, our government stands by our real sector with all its means.” he said.
Erdoğan noted that they did not leave alone those who produce for Turkey, those who provide employment for the nation, and the exporters who deliver Turkish products to every corner of the world, and said, “We increased Eximbank’s capital from 13.8 billion lira to 100 billion lira. Our bank’s credit and insurance support reached 26 billion dollars with an increase of 31 percent in the first 5 months of this year. Hopefully, at the end of the year, our bank will break a record with the support of 60 billion dollars. The rediscount provided by our Central Bank “The loans reached 1 trillion 267 billion lira in the last year. In addition, we provide foreign currency conversion support to our exporters and continue to support their production and competitiveness. Despite the increases in global energy prices, we protect our citizens and producers with the Ecel mobile system.” he said.
Stating that Türkiye is among the most advantageous countries in Europe in terms of manufacturing industry, electricity and natural gas costs, Erdoğan said, “We have previously launched our Investment Commitment Advance Loan and HIT-30 programs to encourage high value-added production in the industry. We are strengthening our labor-intensive sectors with wage and transportation supports. We are aware of the difficulties in accessing finance. In our cabinet meeting on Monday, we discussed the current situation of the Turkish economy and also discussed the financing issue in detail.” “We have given the necessary instructions to the economic management to carry out a comprehensive study, taking into account past experiences.” he said.
Erdoğan underlined that as important as access to finance is, it is also important to use these resources in the right place and in the right way, and said, “We want our country’s scarce resources to go to production, exports, investment and industry, not to unproductive areas.” he said.
“THE DETERMINANT OF EXPORT IS FOREIGN DEMAND”
President Erdoğan emphasized that the primary rule of business life is to find a market to sell the product and continued as follows:
“The determinant of exports is foreign demand. Permanent success does not come with palliative solutions, but with new customers, new markets and strong commercial relations. We attach great importance to our business world, especially DEIK, opening up to new markets. We are open to any suggestions from you on this subject. Dear friends, I would like everyone to know this once and for all. When the dust cloud surrounding us, both economically, commercially and diplomatically, clears up, Turkey will be the biggest winner. I hope we will enter a period in which we will talk about opportunities, not crises.” “Our package, which came into force on Thursday, is a part of this. We aim to transform the Istanbul Financial Center into a regional base of global investment, international trade and financial services. We exempt the profits from the financial services offered here from tax for 20 years.”
Explaining that they have introduced very strong incentives for companies engaged in international trade, Erdoğan said, “Companies that carry out their transit trade activities through the Istanbul Financial Center will not pay corporate tax. Moreover, we do not limit this approach only to Istanbul. We exclude 95 percent of the profits from transit trade all over Türkiye from tax.” he said.
“BE A PART OF THE GROWTH STORY OF THE NEW AND STRONG Türkiye”
Stating that they took a historical step for the producers, Erdoğan said:
“We have halved the corporate tax rate applied to industrial manufacturing and agricultural production. Our industrialists and farmers will now pay 12.5 percent corporate tax. We invite companies operating around the world to move their regional management centers to Türkiye. Our message is very clear, ‘Manage your operations from Türkiye and benefit from the advantages.’ We are also making a new call to investors, entrepreneurs and citizens living abroad in different countries of the world. Come to Türkiye, settle in Türkiye. “Be a part of the growth story of the new and powerful Türkiye.”
President Erdoğan underlined that foreigners settling in Türkiye and Turkish citizens living abroad will not pay taxes on their income from abroad for 20 years if they meet certain conditions, and said:
“We are determined to transform Türkiye into a global center where not only investments are made, but also where investments are managed, trade is directed, and capital meets. On this occasion, I would like to make an appeal to our DEİK family. You are both business people and Türkiye’s trade ambassadors. You are the ones who will best explain the potential of our country and the opportunities it offers to the world. We expect your support in this regard. By joining hands with DEİK, we will take Türkiye to a much stronger position in production, trade and investments. I believe it wholeheartedly.”
Erdoğan, who wished DEİK 39th Ordinary General Assembly to be beneficial and auspicious for Türkiye, the business world and DEİK family, completed his speech by congratulating the masters who were deemed worthy of the award.

BREAKING NEWS I President Erdoğan: Zero Waste movement has turned into a global mobilization
“43 MILLION CHILDREN ARE WRITING IN THE CLAWS OF HUNGER IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD”
President Erdoğan stated that, according to the report published by the United Nations World Food Program, 43 million children are currently suffering from hunger in different parts of the world and said, “One third of the food produced in a year, that is, 1.3 billion tons, is wasted. Every year, more than 3 million children die in the prime of their lives as a result of hunger-related diseases.” he said.
Pointing out that the waste problem is also an important threat on a global scale, Erdoğan said, “This is a truly frightening example that reveals the dire dimensions of the problem of the 1.6 million square kilometer ‘garbage continent’ in the north of the Pacific Ocean, consisting of tons of waste and plastic, which my wife Emine Erdoğan brought up at the opening of the forum. The data we have shows that this problem will deepen rather than decrease. Solid waste, which is 2.1 billion tons in 2023.” “The amount is expected to increase to 3.8 billion tons in 2050 if no measures are taken.” he said.
President Erdoğan continued as follows:
“As Turkey, we see nature both as a legacy entrusted to us by our Lord and as a legacy that must be handed over to future generations, and we meticulously take the necessary steps in terms of environment, climate and waste management. We act with an approach based on green transformation, circular economy and sustainable development, and make intense efforts to minimize the effects of the climate crisis. The Zero Waste Movement, which was launched in 2017 under the leadership of my wife Emine Erdoğan, is today a global environment accepted by the United Nations.” “In 2022, Türkiye was the main presenter and 105 countries were the co-hosts, and the declaration of March 30 as International Zero Waste Day was the most valuable fruit of sincere efforts in this direction.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE OUR WORK WITH DETERMINATION IN LINE WITH OUR 2053 NET ZERO EMISSION TARGET”
President Erdoğan continued his words as follows:
“With the projects and practices implemented with the zero waste movement, we contributed 365 billion liras to our economy. We recycled 90 million tons of waste. We prevented the cutting down of 613 million trees. We prevented the emission of 180 million tons of greenhouse gases, which corresponds to the carbon emissions of 36 million trees. We saved 2 trillion liters of water, 270 billion kilowatt-hours of energy, 60 billion liters of oil and 390 million cubic meters of waste storage space. “Our recovery rate, which was 13 percent in 2017, increased to 37.53 percent in 2025, almost 3 times. We will increase this rate to 60 percent in 2035 and hopefully to 70 percent in 2053. We will continue our work determinedly in line with our 2053 net zero emission target.”
Erdoğan, who turned the Zero Waste Movement, which started in 2017 as a symbol of environmental sensitivity and a deep awareness of responsibility towards future generations, into a global environment and climate struggle in a short period of 9 years, wholeheartedly thanked all the workers, especially those who inspired and pioneered the movement, and hoped that the forum would be beneficial.
President Erdoğan was accompanied by his wife Emine Erdoğan at the gala dinner.
In the program where the short film “Türkiye with Seasons” was watched, Zero Waste Foundation President and COP31 High Level Climate Champion Samed Ağırbaş also made a speech.

Breaking News… President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made important statements at the gala dinner of the ‘Zero Waste Forum’ held at Istanbul Atatürk Airport…
Highlights from President Erdoğan’s speech:
“I wholeheartedly congratulate you on your Istanbul Zero Waste Week. I hope that our exhibitions that raise the awareness of both our children and our visitors will bring good things.
This forum, attended by more than five thousand participants, shows the level Türkiye has reached. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to the forum with their ideas and criticism. I hope that the new steps to be taken will be beneficial in advance.
The climate issue is a serious problem that threatens all of humanity, just like war and global epidemics. The impact of these problems is felt even more in a very wide area. Throughout billions of years of world history, the climate has changed in every era. The main issue here is to solve it without causing a crisis.
The countries that have the biggest share in the deepening of the climate crisis are also the countries least affected by this crisis. While there is no drinking water on one side, luxury and rudeness continue on the other side. 43 million children are in the grip of hunger.
We are living in a period where artificial intelligence and new technologies accelerate production and unconscious consumption habits harm nature.
With the Zero Waste movement, 365 billion liras were contributed to our economy. “We prevented 180 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.”

Daily Agenda
AK Party Deputy Chairman Yayman spoke in Kütahya: The issue of Türkiye without terrorism is a very important issue for Türkiye.
In his speech at his party’s Kütahya Provincial Advisory Council Meeting, Yayman said that, as the AK Party, they are always at the command and service of the nation.
Stating that very important gains were made during the AK Party governments, Yayman said: “They say ‘There are difficulties in the economy’. Yes, the AK Party has been in power for 24 years, and there have been very serious economic gains and breakthroughs in approximately 22 of those 24 years. In the last two years, there have been problems in the balance of the economy due to the problems arising from the Russia-Ukraine War, the problems in the Middle East, the problems left over from the coronavirus period and the killer Israel and America’s attack on Iran, but I hope these will be resolved.” “We will overcome it again under the leadership of our President.”
YAYMAN NOTED THAT CHP HAS ENTERED AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.
Emphasizing that the complainant, the person making the criminal complaint and the person being complained about are CHP members, Yayman said, “The one who gives bribes is a CHP member, the one who takes bribes is a CHP member, the confessor is a CHP member, the secret witness is a CHP member. In other words, the incident takes place within the CHP. There is such a disrespectful image within themselves that they call their leader, whom they previously tried to explain to Türkiye as a candidate of the six-party table, ‘traitor’. What our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said AK Party is not and will not be anywhere in these discussions that spill over from the court corridors to the streets.” he said.
“LAWAY OF WEAPONS IS A MUST”
Yayman underlined that the Terror-Free Türkiye process is very important and continued as follows:
“The issue of Turkey without terrorism is a state and nation project of the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission. It is an issue of ending terrorism and laying down the weapons of the terrorist organization. It is a very important issue for Turkey, carried out under the chairmanship of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and MHP Chairman, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli. Our issue is to raise the standard of Türkiye’s democracy. Our issue is to increase Türkiye’s problem-solving ability. Our issue is a “It is essential to establish a climate of brotherhood and end terrorism not in words but in substance. In this issue, which is being followed by our National Intelligence Directorate and the relevant institutions of the state, it is essential to lay down the weapons. Weapons must not only be laid down, but also burned and removed from circulation forever.”
Stating that the report of the commission, which includes AK Party, MHP, CHP and DEM Party, is important, Yayman emphasized that it is indispensable to lay down weapons as signed by the parties. At the meeting, AK Party Kütahya Deputies İsmail Çağlar Bayırcı, Adil Biçer and Mehmet Demir and AK Party Kütahya Provincial Chair Ceyda Çetin Erenler also made speeches.
