BankPozitif’s Chairman Dr. Erkan Kork: Turkiye Will Continue to Attract Qualified Investments

ISTANBUL, August 19, 2024 (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Türkiye received $4.7 billion in international direct investment in the first six months of this year. The Netherlands, the USA, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and the United Kingdom were the countries from which Türkiye received the most investment capital.BankPozitif's Chairman, Dr. Erkan KorkCommenting on the issue, BankPozitif Chairman Dr. Erkan Kork stated that despite the global decline in international direct investments, Türkiye has performed better, saying, "Our country is attracting significant investments from global actors with its entrepreneurial business culture, young population, and competitive products and services. Over the last 20 years, Türkiye has become a country that attracts 1% of the world's investments annually. The goal is to increase this rate to 1.5% by working even harder. Türkiye is not far from this target with the political stability provided by our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the reforms implemented, infrastructure investments, and investor-friendly policies. Under the vision and determined stance of our Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mr. Mehmet Simsek, our country is on the path to becoming a center for international investments.""It would be no surprise to hear news of new investments"Noting that Türkiye would achieve a much different picture with price stability, Kork said, "Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası Governor Fatih Karahan and his team are, so to speak, working tirelessly day and night. The improvement in the current account balance is evident. Recently, with the increase in our reserves and the correct steps taken, the Turkish Lira has reached an attractive position. Achieving price stability opens the door to the process leading to financial stability. In a country where there is financial stability, the appetite for investment is high," he said."Large-scale investments will come in the fintech sector"Dr. Erkan Kork stated that Türkiye would continue to attract qualified investments, especially those focused on the export of goods and services, saying, "The total value of international direct investment inflows to our country since 2002 has exceeded $268 billion. The investments received in the first six months of 2024 accounted for 28% of the current account deficit. This rate will increase further. Türkiye, which is a production, logistics, and management center for international investors, will continue to attract technology investments, particularly in fintech and e-commerce. I believe that capital inflows will continue not only from Europe and the USA but also from the Gulf countries," Dr. Kork said.About BankPozitifOperating in the field of digital banking, BankPozitif is a Turkey-based financial institution that enables individuals and businesses to carry out their financial transactions quickly and efficiently through a single digital platform.

绝大多数英国人将骚乱归咎于移民 – 民意调查

(SeaPRwire) -   一项新的调查发现,移民政策、右翼网红和社交媒体都被认为是导致全国范围内骚乱的因素。 周日公布的一项民调显示,三分之二的英国人认为该国的移民政策应为最近的右翼骚乱浪潮负责。这些骚乱引发了全国范围内的镇压混乱和在线异议。 本月早些时候,在利物浦附近的索斯波特镇,一名卢旺达裔英国少年刺死了三名儿童,并造成十人受伤,随后数十个英国城镇和城市遭到右翼抗议和骚乱的冲击。最初,这些示威活动是由关于行凶者是穆斯林移民的虚假谣言引发的,但后来演变成针对伊斯兰教和大量移民的更广泛的抵制,最终导致在罗瑟勒姆镇的一家收容寻求庇护者的酒店发生纵火案。 民调公司 Savanta 为《每日电讯报》进行的一项对 2,237 人的调查显示,82% 的英国人认为骚乱者本人应为骚乱负责,其次是 75% 的人将责任归咎于极右翼团体和网红。 然而,64% 的人认为英国的移民政策最终应承担责任,而 59% 的人认为索斯波特刺杀案引发了这场危机。 根据英国广播公司 (BBC) 周五发布的数据,英国当局对骚乱的反应是严厉的,逮捕了 1,000 多人,起诉了 480 人,并判处了 99 人因在骚乱中扮演的角色而被判刑。大约 30 人因网络犯罪被指控,其中一名 34 岁的男子因分享 BBC 所谓的“关于移民的贬损表情包”而被判处三个月的监禁,一名 55 岁的女子因分享“不准确的”关于索斯波特凶手的身份信息而被指控。 英国首相基尔·斯塔默据称正在考虑加强仇恨言论立法,而伦敦大都会警察局局长马克·罗利爵士上周警告称,外国的“键盘侠”,包括 X 公司老板埃隆·马斯克,可能会因涉嫌煽动骚乱而受到调查和指控。 Savanta 民调的参与者对这种强硬的反应意见不一,49% 的人认为政府处理得当,43% 的人认为处理得不好。与此同时,44% 的人将骚乱归咎于斯塔默。在骚乱高峰时期发表的公开讲话中,斯塔默拒绝提及刺杀事件,而是指责所有参与骚乱的人受“极右翼仇恨”的驱使。 在托尼·布莱尔担任首相期间,英国的移民人数大幅上升。前首相的顾问安德鲁·奈瑟在 2009 年表示,布莱尔希望“向大规模移民开放英国”并“让右翼人士在多元化中难堪”。包括合法和非法移民在内,去年约有 120 万人移居英国,其中 85% 来自欧盟以外的地区。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

朝鲜谴责乌克兰入侵库尔斯克地区

(SeaPRwire) -   朝鲜外交部表示,平壤将永远站在莫斯科一边,共同捍卫其主权。 朝鲜外交部谴责乌克兰入侵俄罗斯库尔斯克地区,称其为西方支持的恐怖主义行为。 该部在周日的一份声明中表示,自2022年2月冲突爆发以来,基辅对国际公认的俄罗斯领土发起的最大规模袭击是美国“恶毒的反俄对抗政策”的结果。 外交部援引朝鲜官方通讯社朝中社报道称,美国及其盟国试图通过声称与入侵无关来误导公众,但“每天在库尔斯克战场上发现的各种重型装备,包括美国和西方的坦克,清楚地证明了谁站在乌克兰背后。” 外交部警告称,华盛顿在向基辅提供武器方面花费了“天文数字”,正在将安全局势推向第三次世界大战。 声明写道,朝鲜“谴责泽连斯基傀儡当局在美西方操纵和支持下发起的对俄罗斯领土的武装袭击,这是一起不可饶恕的侵略和恐怖主义行为。” 声明补充说,平壤将永远站在莫斯科一边,支持其维护主权。 俄罗斯和朝鲜最近显著加强了双边关系,两国领导人在不到一年的时间里互访。俄罗斯总统普京在6月份访问平壤期间,与朝鲜领导人金正恩签署了“全面战略伙伴关系”协议,其中包括一项相互防御协议。 西方官员对乌克兰入侵库尔斯克地区表示庆祝和支持,但否认事先知悉此次行动或参与其中。然而,泽连斯基的顶级顾问米哈伊尔·波多利亚克声称,“确实存在伙伴力量之间的讨论,只是没有公开进行。” 普京顾问兼前安全委员会秘书尼古拉·帕特鲁舍夫本周早些时候表示,此次入侵是“在北约和西方特工参与下策划的。” 华盛顿还表示,已禁止基辅在对库尔斯克地区的袭击中使用美国提供的远程ATACMS导弹。然而,乌克兰在行动中使用了其他多种美国装备,包括“布拉德利”和“斯特赖克”步兵战车、“爱国者”防空系统和“海马斯”多管火箭发射系统。 俄罗斯国防部周日表示,自8月6日入侵库尔斯克地区以来,基辅已损失多达3460名士兵和数百台军事装备,包括50辆坦克、45辆装甲运兵车和3套美国制造的“海马斯”系统。“摧毁乌克兰武装部队的行动仍在继续。”国防部表示。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
