ONE OF THE STRATEGIC AREAS OF THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY
Mehmet ŞİMŞEK
Minister of Treasury and Finance of the Republic of Turkey
I congratulate the editorial team, writers, and all contributing stakeholders who have worked to reach the 50th issue of PLASFED Magazine, which has contributed to the development of our plastics industry, strengthened the sector's shared memory, and enriched its knowledge accumulation since 2012.
The plastics industry is one of the strategic areas of our production power and industrial infrastructure.
Providing essential inputs to many sectors ranging from automotive to machinery, white goods to the defense industry, and agriculture to health, the sector plays a critical role in realizing our goals of high value-added production, technological transformation, and export-driven development.
With the program we have resolutely implemented, we have made significant progress toward disinflation, strengthening financial stability, and increasing predictability in the economy. Through our policies, we are building a strong foundation that supports the production, investment, and export capacity of our real sector while strengthening the investment environment. Thus, we aim for our strategic sectors to produce more value-added and achieve a better position in global value chains.
In line with the goal of a Turkey that produces, develops, and competes with the world, we will continue to advance our industry in every field through the strong cooperation of the public and private sectors.
I wholeheartedly believe that the potential possessed by our plastics industry will make significant contributions to our country's sustainable growth, the strengthening of its exports, and the increase of its global competitiveness.
On this occasion, I once again celebrate the 50th issue of PLASFED Magazine, which contributes to the development of the sector, and wish your entire team success with the belief that your work will continue to add value to the plastics sector and our country's industry.
