Strategic Production Emphasis from Jak Eskinazi: We Must Be Persistent in the Right Fields
Stating that production power must be protected during the disinflation process, Jak Eskinazi urged a focus on strategic technologies instead of trying to be a leader in every field.
As the disinflation process continues in the Turkish economy, Perqamon Status Chairman of the Board Jak Eskinazi emphasized that alongside price stability, the industrial structure and competitiveness must be preserved.
Financing and Efficiency in Industry
High financing costs negatively impact small and medium-sized enterprises' access to working capital and investment.
Pointing out that companies with access to financing and the most efficient companies are not always the same, the preservation of healthy businesses is requested.
The Necessity of Protecting Investments
It is clearly stated that every investment postponed under current economic conditions means lost exports in the future.
It is noted that investments in machinery, automation, artificial intelligence, energy efficiency, and R&D must be supported without interruption.
Strategic Technology Areas
It is argued that Turkey does not have to be a leader in every field simultaneously, and instead, certain critical areas should be selected.
It is expected that fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, biotechnology, energy technologies, and robotics will be supported decisively for many years.
Added Value and Competitiveness
To increase the country's competitiveness, it is recommended to focus on qualified human resources and branding rather than cheap labor and currency advantages.
It is noted that priority should be given not merely to quantity in production, but to the added value created per employee, machine, and capital.
