OUR PATIENCE IS DECREASING 

Antalya OSB President Ali Bahar said, "Our input costs are increasing unpredictably day by day". Industrialists have no bearing to carry this burden. Any increase in input costs will return to the public as inflation, which will reduce the purchasing power of our people. These increases will affect employment and exports negatively. In today's harsh competition conditions, it has become impossible for industrialists to bear such a heavy burden. For a long time, we have shouted that production will stop at a standstill if the loads on the industrialists are not alleviated. However, the burdens on our shoulders are getting even more lightened, which hurts some factories.

PRODUCTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

However, the disruption of production will cause not only the electricity cost of our people, but also the increase of all expense items.

In order to achieve this, the industry sector needs to be supported and the obstacles to be removed should be abolished.

ARE WE ORPHANS?

We have unresolved problems for many years in port use, kullanım said Bahar. We have problems such as logistics, public transportation, mass housing but not even a solution. Our exporters are complaining about Eximbank. We are demanding that this treatment, which is seen in the name of the country and the nation, puts its hand on the stone and tries to survive by fighting with dozens of problems that are accumulated on the mountain as soon as possible. Are we orphans orphans as industrialists? We want to see the strong hand of our state as a comforting force on our shoulders.
