ÇETİN AY SAYS, "THE NATION NO LONGER ACCEPTS BEING RUINED AND THEN RESCUED...!!"

ÇETİN AY SAYS, "THE NATION NO LONGER ACCEPTS BEING RUINED AND THEN RESCUED...!!"

"Turkey is no longer a prisoner of a weary cycle. This nation does not give credence to, or accept, the mentality of 'first we'll sink it, then we'll save it.'"

For years, we've been watching the same scenario. The economy is mismanaged, a crisis becomes inevitable. Then promises are made from the podiums: "Be patient, we will fix it!" But this nation no longer wants to hear these fairy tales. Çetin Ay, a seasoned business figure and financial expert, and President of BWA, summarizes the situation clearly: "The economy must be protected like the life of the nation. Because the economy is not just money; it is the honor and hope of a nation. That hope cannot be risked, it cannot be sacrificed to extravagance." "The economy is the livelihood of the orphaned child. Those who play with this livelihood consume not only the present but also the future."

The public's expectation is now clear: "We will not mismanage the economy. We will not lay a hand on the nation's table." “Credit ratings are rising, but our pockets are stagnating.” “International credit ratings are an indicator. But prices don't fall in the market, rents don't get cheaper, and hope doesn't blossom overnight.” “Even if the market is growing on paper, if dreams are shrinking, that growth benefits no one.” “If interest rates are high, confidence is gone.” “Interest rates are the pulse of the economy. If the pulse quickens, a crisis is at the door. If interest rates have skyrocketed, it is clear evidence that the system is sick.” “Economy doesn't improve by decorating shop windows. If producers can't access credit, if investors are crushed under the weight of costs, that credit rating is just a piece of paper decoration.” “Inflation is no longer a whisper, it's a scream.” “Inflation is not just a number.

It's the silent scream in our wallets.”

“Today, price tags change every morning on the street. If there is no purchasing power, credit ratings won't feed the citizen.” “If a nation's currency loses value, not only the economy but also hope is devalued.” “Reserves are strong not through cosmetic changes, but through real value.” “It is said that reserves are recovering. But figures inflated by swaps cannot sustain the economy when the wind blows hard.” “If a dam looks full but is leaking from within, that dam will collapse at the first storm.” “Success on paper is measured on the people's dinner tables.”

“International reports may give hope to investors. But these reports are meaningless for citizens who cannot fill their shopping bags at the market.” “If the middle class is crippled, and young people are seeking their future abroad, the success story has long since lost its credibility.” “We need trust, not promises.” “The time for talk is over. Now is the time for solutions.” “Now, results will speak louder than words.” “Young people are trapped in the country.” “Our young people want to work, produce, and see the world, but they are effectively trapped in the country.” “European countries are accepting almost no applications. Not even one in 1000 people can get a visa.” “This is not just a matter of passports; this is a matter of a youth whose dreams have been mortgaged.” “The time for empty talk is over, it’s time for solutions.” “The business world wants to produce. Young people want to work. This nation has managed to overcome crises, but we cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes.”

Çetin Ay, President of BWA, delivers this clear message: “Now, results speak louder than words. The nation wants trust, not promises.”
