CNBC SMEs Speak | OSTİM Board Chairman Orhan Aydın

Aydın stated that SMEs are experiencing problems accessing finance, saying, "Banking transactions are not as easy as they used to be. They cannot easily access credit."

Aydın also mentioned the impact of market uncertainties, saying, "There is instability in prices. When setting prices, there is a problem of uncertainty in calculating inflation and exchange rates. When all these come together, it becomes difficult for our SMEs to do business."

President Aydın, also drawing attention to the shortage of qualified personnel, emphasized the need to understand the importance of production.

Explaining that OSTİM SMEs are making great efforts to increase their competitiveness and exports, President Aydın shared his view, saying, "Our Ministry of Trade provides significant support to SMEs, especially in R&D projects. KOSGEB's support is also very meaningful."
