The garment industry has always been the driving force of Türkiye's economy, with a large export volume and many employment opportunities. Türkiye Fabric Fair has made important contributions to the development of the industry. Türkiye cannot lose garment manufacturing, which provides jobs for 2.5 million people. The world population is about to reach 7 billion, and the demand for ready-made clothes is naturally on the rise. To this end, Türkiye should adopt good management methods and smart policies, refrain from selling assets at ridiculous prices, and maintain their high value, invest in training employees, expand employment opportunities, and prevent the plunder of wealth by high interest rates. Only when we put national interests before personal gains and losses, and only when our government and non-governmental organizations do not adopt opportunistic wisdom, but take wise and constructive decisions, can we become a more respected, stronger and influential country in the region.
