ISTANBUL – The Turkish president yesterday underlined the country’s growth that would continue via investment, employment, production, and exports, besides current account surplus.

“All we want is to make sure that our country keeps growing through investment, employment, production, exports, and current account surplus to attain our goals as soon as possible,” Anadolu Agency quoted Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying during the opening ceremony of multiple facilities in the southeastern Gaziantep province.

“We are closer, more than ever, to our goal of making Turkey one of the top 10 economies of the world,” Erdogan said, noting that they have established the infrastructure of a great and powerful Turkey across 81 cities.

“With its potential and industry, Gaziantep is one of our cities benefiting most from this development thrust.

“We have made 45 billion Turkish liras (RM17.62 billion) worth of investment in Gaziantep over the past 19 years,” he added. – Bernama, December 26, 2021
