The head of the top Turkish business association called on Sunday for a sustained continuation of the disinflation process, as he also urged strengthening of the selective financing and support for the real sector in the country.

Independent Industrialists and Businessmen's Association (MÜSIAD) Chair Burhan Özdemir shared the business community's main expectations for the upcoming period with Anadolu Agency (AA).

"Today, the most critical agenda item for the real sector is access to finance and financing costs," Özdemir said.

"The business community’s main expectation for the upcoming period is the determined continuation of the disinflation process, making financial conditions more predictable and strengthening selective financing mechanisms that support the investment capacity of the real sector," he noted.

He also said the first half of the year was marked by a period in which uncertainties in the global economy became more permanent, geopolitical risks gained greater importance in economic decision-making processes, and countries searched for new areas of growth.
