The continuance of social tensions has constituted a considerable risk in the economy, although political stability has been maintained after the elections, said a leading Turkish businessman. 

Turkey's top business organization TÜS?AD has sued the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DE?K), once an arm of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) but recently put under the control and surveillance of the Economy Ministry, to opt out from membership in the organization and to not pay membership fees.

Turkey must embrace the republic's principle of secularism in order to progress economically as well as socially and politically, Haluk Dinçer, the outgoing head of the country's top business organization TÜS?AD, has said, speaking at a meeting where his presidential term ends.

TÜS?AD?s outgoing leader, who is at odds with the government and the president over his recent remarks, stands behind his words, adding that the business group generates some 85 percent of taxes in Turkey Haluk Dinçer, the outgoing head of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜS?AD), has stressed that the leading business organization generates around 85 percent of the taxes i

One cannot say that Turkey?s prestigious Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜS?AD) has always been on good terms with the government.

At first sight it seems that Turkey has turned into a great play of political vaudeville theater. Most recently, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that he will chair Cabinet meetings after he was elected head of state. After a period of speculation, the president finally said the last word as usual and declared that he would chair a Cabinet meeting in the Presidential Palace on Jan. 19.

Sabancı Holding Retail Chief Haluk Dinçer is set to leave after six months at the helm of Turkey's top business organization.

Dinçer will not stand as a candidate for chairman at the annual congress of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) on January 22, 2015, Hürriyet has learned.
