Stating that a different trend has emerged for the first time since the beginning of the crisis, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, c The growth rate of developed countries exceeded the growth rate of developing countries. Since the beginning of the crisis, Asia's emerging economies were the carriers of global growth. Now, positive signals from America are coming. American growth should have a positive impact on us all, but expectations that the monetary expansion process will end will lead to fluctuations in financial markets. Amerikan

Stating that the European economies have started to recover again, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, Hisar 8 is the quarterly shrinking 2. It ended in the quarter. However, the signals of recovery differ between countries. While some member states have positive signals for the exit from the crisis, some of the member states are still struggling to get rid of the recession. While the EU and especially the Eurozone are focused on the economic crisis, the issue of ”enlargement, is unfortunately not on the top of the agenda. However, previous enlargement experiences have shown that there has been an increase in trade and investments due to expansion. All parties benefited from growth and employment growth. We must not forget that the cause of the current economic crisis is not the enlargement of the EU. The main problem is inadequate regulations in the financial markets. Therefore, the new members are not the cause of the crisis but the victims of the crisis. The continuation of the enlargement process is essential both for the future of the EU economy and for the establishment of peace and stability in our region. Geniş

the last ten years, the transformation of Turkey's economy is no longer fully private sector based economy and open a vote that also said Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that it is important to contribute to the transformation of the EU process. Hisarcıklıoğlu continued his speech as follows:

"When we look at Turkey's economy after 2009 and the growth rate approaching 2010 percent in 9, as a measure to control the overheated economy had entered a slowdown period. We grew 2012 percent in 2,2. We expect our 2013 growth rate to be around 3 percent. The messages that the monetary expansion from the US Central Bank will slow down affected the financial markets of our country negatively as well as other developing countries. But the structural stance of Turkey's economy is robust. We are one of the few countries in the best European continent in terms of public finance, real sector and banking system. They are not, thanks to daily developments in financial markets as Turkey, we are focused on our long-term goals. Look, only this year we started 40 major infrastructure projects with a total project size of over 5 billion Euros; 2 nuclear power plants, 3rd Airport in Istanbul and 3rd Bridge in Bosphorus, Istanbul-Izmir Motorway, Ankara-Istanbul High Speed ​​Train line. We will open another big project next month. A Eurotunnel-like railway project in the English Channel will connect with the railway line that passes under the Bosphorus of the European and Asian continents. This year, we also anticipate that, as the Turkish private sector, we will exceed the previous year in both production, exports and employment. ”

Stating that developments in the global economy show that the G20 process is now more important, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, X A new mechanism of cooperation should be developed in global governance. Otherwise, the Federal Reserve will be the main determinant of the economic policies of all countries outside the United States. Globalization is good. In this way, however, the concept of national policy priorities loses its meaning. In terms of the healthy functioning of the global system, global economic policy coordination needs to be connected to a healthier agreement. Küresel

Negotiations between the EU and the US, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that Turkey is directly concerned, "need to develop a new cooperation mechanism of global governance. xnumx's percent of Turkey's total foreign trade is with the EU and the United States. xnumx's percent of the total foreign direct investments to Turkey EU and US origin. Likewise, 46 percent of direct investments abroad to Turkey, the EU and the US are going. Thus, Turkey's economy, the EU and will be directly affected by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement between the United States. Therefore, we attach importance to Turkey's taking part in this process, '' he said.

16-17 Hisarcıklıoğlu, who added that they will host the EUROCHAMBRES Economic Forum and the EUROCHAMBRES General Assembly in October for the EUROCHAMBRES meetings, will once again remind the EUROCHAMBRES Economic Forum to be held for the first time. It is the main theme of the Forum. Forum
