December Ordinary Assembly Meeting Held

The December Ordinary Assembly Meeting of the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry was held under the chairmanship of President of the Assembly Sedat Karataş.

We extend our wishes for a speedy recovery to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. İdris Alan.

President of the Assembly of the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sedat Karataş:  “I extend my wishes for a speedy recovery to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. İdris Alan. I hope he will be with us in good health as soon as possible.

In the past weeks, our President had announced that we welcomed with joy the extension of the 6th Region incentives for 2 more years. Let us repeat it, and we extend our gratitude for this good development to our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdağan and our Minister of Industry and Technology Mr. Mustafa Varank. God willing, on this occasion the number of investors in our OSB, and consequently the level of employment in our province, will increase.”

We will take an active role in finding solutions to the problems of our members.

“On 12 November our members did their part by casting their votes and entrusted the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry to us with the highest margin in the Chamber's history. Now it is our turn to do our duty. We will serve our Members with our Assembly, our Board of Directors and our Committees.

Dear Assembly Members; you are now opinion leaders of your own sectors. You are the ones who know the problems of our members best and who will produce the best solutions. By frequently meeting with our members and listening to their problems and suggestions, we will take an active role in producing solutions. Our expectations from our Professional Committees are very high. They are our eyes and ears in the field. The activeness of our chamber, which will be the voice of the Elazığ Business World, is directly proportional to the work of our committees. For this reason, let us take care to ensure maximum participation in our Professional Committee meetings.”

By seizing the opportunities arising from crises, we can rebuild price stability

“The disruption of the supply chain, one of the most prominent effects of the global pandemic disaster experienced in 2020, has been adversely affecting the world economy for more than 2 years. The chip crisis and the Russia–Ukraine war are also among the problems that adversely affect the economy on a global scale.

We are a nation that increased the number of entrepreneurs despite the Pandemic and was able to turn the crises arising from the Russia–Ukraine war into opportunities.

The interest rate hike decisions taken by the FED and the European Central Bank are among the approaching footsteps of a Global Recession. As a result of the contraction in demand, one of the natural consequences of this interest rate hike, commodity prices have eased. By seizing the opportunities of this period in which inflation will lose momentum, we can rebuild price stability.

The year 2023 will be the 100th Year of our Republic. We say, God willing, may it also be a period of renewed rise in the economy for us.”

Following the statements of President of the Assembly Sedat Karataş, the agenda items were discussed and the meeting was concluded.
