According to the statement made by the Machinery Exporters’ Association (MAİB), as of the end of April, Turkey’s total machinery exports, including free zones, amounted to 7.5 billion dollars. While Germany, the USA, England, France and Italy were the countries that bought the most Turkish machines, the increase in the EU reached 38 percent.
The machinery industry achieved 7.5 billion dollars of exports in the first 4 months of this year. MAİB President Kutlu Karavelioğlu, whose views were given in the statement, stated that they will continue to make comparisons with 2019 data in order to reveal the export performance of the sector in the clearest way, and said, “Due to the differentiation in consumption, the global manufacturing industry is rapidly renewing its investments and our industry is working very hard to respond to the increasing demand. It should not be thought that it is based on the base effect. We also demonstrate our success by comparing it with our data in 2019, which we closed with an increase in exports, unlike our competitors.” used the phrases.
Karavelioğlu stated that they had exports of 2.5 billion dollars last year and 2.9 billion dollars in 2019 to the top 10 markets to which they exported 3.5 billion dollars in the first 4 months of the year, “Our exports to these countries have increased by 43% in the last one year, increased by 22 percent. We have more striking examples on a country basis. The increase in the last 2 years exceeds 30 percent in Spain, 50 percent in Russia, Iran and Egypt. The increase is around 100 percent in Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The pandemic process has made us new friends “We have gained a lot of money and our total exports have increased by 30 percent compared to last year. But we do not console ourselves by looking at the stump data of 2020, we are pleased that we have increased by 17 percent compared to 2019.” made its assessment.
“OUR COMPETITORS WILL LOOK AT US AND ENJOY AGAIN”
Karavelioğlu stated that, apart from turbines and turbojets, which had problems in exports due to some problems in bilateral relations, and leather processing machines, which were considered as luxury consumption during the quarantine period, there was no sub-sector that could not eliminate the effects of the epidemic.
“We shipped over 1.2 million tons of machinery abroad in the first 4 months, and the prices of our products continue to rise in the international market. Our 2-year export increase was 20 percent in the 10 sub-sectors in which we performed the highest. Electric motors and generators, which increased by 37 percent, increased by 35 percent. Textile and apparel machines follow. But the important thing is that we add 1.3 billion dollars to our 2019 figures with a total performance and we will successfully get out of this crisis. As in previous crisis periods, we will complete this process with a performance that all our competitors will envy.”
Stating that the epidemic agenda and the US election results are not enough to soften the power struggle on a global scale, Karavelioğlu said, “With the bilateral agreements that China has rapidly expanded in line with its hegemonic goals, the effort to get more shares from global production, trade and strategic investments continues. Covert state supports to reach advanced technology. The company acquisitions they made with them are also watched with concern by Western societies.” used the phrases.
