Hopefully, we will continue on the same line from now on... We will seek solutions to the problems faced by our country, together with a common mind,” Erdoğan said, addressing the 79th General Assembly of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB).
Erdoğan underlined the government’s determination to take steps to compensate for the loss of welfare experienced by some segments of society.
“We are strictly committed to our policy of not allowing our citizens to be crushed by inflation. We have not made any concessions on this issue throughout our 21 years in power,” he said.
He pledged to lower the inflation to single digits again. “It was us who had lowered the inflation, which had plagued the Turkish economy for years, to single-digit figures, thereby easing our people’s burden. We will achieve the same in this period as well. We will inshallah see together the positive ramifications as the fluctuations in the global economy calm down,” he said.
