Price stability is one of the most important indicators reflecting the situation of macroeconomics.
After 2002, Turkey has achieved an important improvement in the financial and political stability along with price stability is ensured to fall to single-digit levels of inflation.
With the effect of the unusual movements in the exchange rates recently, the inflation rate has increased again to double digits.
Increasing inflation adversely affects both our citizens with reduced purchasing power and our firms due to increased input costs and interest rates.
In order to overcome all these problems, we find and support the Anti-Inflation Program prepared by our Ministry of Treasury and Finance and launched under the leadership of our Minister Mr. Berat Albayrak.
Because, neither the public sector alone or the private sector alone can combat inflation. Responsibility and duty pertain to all.
Fighting against inflation is also fighting against unemployment, high-interest rates, and rising input costs.
The Turkish private sector, with our state, has a total stance and puts its hand under the stone.
In this framework, TOBB and Chambers-Commodity Exchanges, as in every national issue, have common solidarity across the country in this regard.
Our Chambers and Commodity Exchanges in 81 provinces and 160 districts embrace the fight against inflation and initiate work for the broadest participation of our companies.
At this point, we would like to emphasize that the stronger support of this struggle is, the greater the effect will be.
From the financial sector to the real sector, so our citizens from the public, we must engage the same goal as all of Turkey.
If we all be one heart and one voice, we are sure that we will get results in the fight against inflation.
We firmly believe that both our companies and our nation will participate in the broadest total fight against inflation in the broadest way.
As the ORDU COMMODITY EXCHANGE, we request and welcome to support and participation of all our Chamber / Exchange members through our valuable press members.
I believe that as the province of ORDU, we will show the necessary sacrifice and this economic struggle initiated for our country and nation will be at the forefront.
We will leave behind this difficult process with this strong coordination and consultation between the public and private sector.
Sincerely yours,
Ziver KAHRAMAN
Ordu Commodity Exchange
Chairman of the Board
