Machinery exports were 7.6 billion$ in the first half of the year

Machine Exporters Union (reduction) places the MAIB President of the views in a statement Happy Karavelioğlu United Nations Trade and Development Conference, 20 percent in the first quarter of the world machine tool trade, he predicted contraction of 27 percent in the second quarter and dissociates in the first quarter by 0.4 increasing Turkey ‘ He pointed out that machinery exports were doomed to the global course in the second quarter.

Karavelioğlu stated that if the Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) predicted that the global economy would shrink by 6 percent at the end of the year, the global machinery industry could close the year with a contraction of around 20 percent, and said, “In this case, we can return to the pre-crisis figures after 2 years. We need strong cooperation with the EU to shorten this period. However, it is also a fact that the EU, whose industrial production cannot accelerate due to the uneasiness created by the expectation of the second wave, also needs us. ” used the expressions.

Karavelioğlu pointed out that even though there were positive movements in the economy in the Eurozone, especially in Italy, Spain and France, the recovery progressed very slowly in the last two months, “If EU countries, which have experienced a political confidence crisis during the pandemic process, want to continue economic competition with the USA and China, he has to make a breakthrough. For this reason, one of the most strategic sectors is machinery, where production technologies are developed. ” He commented.

Kutlu Karavelioğlu underlined that the EU should develop a joint innovation and investments policy and reinforce cooperation with the nearby geography in the machinery sector, which provides the livelihood of 3 million people in the region, saying, “We are one of the strongest solution partners in this matter. We will use the EU presidency of Germany, one of the most powerful machinery manufacturers in the world, as an opportunity in this direction and achieve positive results by maintaining sectoral diplomacy. ” found in the description.

“31.5 percent of our companies say they will diversify their export markets”

Recalling that the Machinery Exporters Association carried out the third of the survey on the effects and measures of coronavirus, which was conducted regularly in collaboration with the Machinery Federation and TOBB, in June, Kutlu Karavelioğlu said, “The machinery manufacturers differ in their commercial and technological visions and their responses on this issue. 31.5 percent of our companies say they will diversify their export markets, 22.2 percent will eliminate their shortcomings in their digital infrastructure, and 20.5 percent will make product consolidation to increase efficiency. ” used the expressions.

Karavelioğlu stated that they analyzed very well how the demand side in global trade will develop, in which branches additional and urgent investments will be on the agenda, and market follow-up, and that they will best evaluate the new era when commercial borders will be open to new collaborations in the field of advanced technology.

Karavelioğlu stated that 60 percent of the companies participating in the survey have decreased their turnover in the first 5 months of the year and 83 percent of their companies will complete their deliveries up to 3 months, and they are waiting for new orders for the future, Karavelioğlu said:

“In the first five months of the year, when machinery exports fell by 18.5 percent, machinery imports dropped by only 1.3 percent, while the rate of companies whose domestic orders were in their normal course was only 22 percent. Unfortunately, both our resources are wasted and the real potential of domestic manufacturers is missed.

In order to protect our qualified staff and continue production with the highest possible capacity utilization rate, we are collecting orders in the international market, which was only 60 percent at the end of June. While we can produce the best quality machines domestically at competitive prices, we cannot make sense for the domestic industrialists to import machinery as if there was no global crisis. “
