We already have a preparation for this number, I have announced it on several occasions. Give your employees a boost above minimum wage. This means that the employer’s insurance premium is paid directly by the state and the employer’s share is added to the workers’ wages and wages from the job. We have brought this work to the final stage. We will share it with the public once we are done with the relevant institutions, the Finance Department and other institutions.”

The latest industry figures show growth continues and industry based growth continues. We have two exits; one is the growth of the industry. Creating an effect that will drag the economy and drag other sectors. Our second way is export. Let’s talk about the third. it is tourism Without these two things, tourism alone cannot solve the problems. Therefore, I would like to affirm that we will cooperate and solve all problems, including earthquake problems, in solidarity.” (AA)
