With the effect of the pandemic, there has been a great increase in housing and rent prices. On the one hand, while the number of building permits increases, we observe a decrease in the number of constructions under construction. There is a need for 800 new housing units every year in our country. Due to the price increases, companies with low working capital are saying goodbye to the sector. We meet under the umbrella of the association and work to find solutions to the problems we experience before the municipalities and the ministry. The contribution of all friends in the sector to the activities and works of the association will help us to have a better sector. Construction costs have increased considerably in the last year and a half. The inadequacy in housing loans also pushed the sector into a bottleneck. We believe that the industry will revive rapidly in the coming years. We will continue to work for both employment and the country's economy," he said.
