Requests for Restructuring of Public Receivables by Tradesmen

Request of Tradesmen and Craftsmen for Public Receivables

President of the Confederation of Turkish Tradesmen and Craftsmen (TESK) Bendevi Palandöken called for the restructuring of public receivables. Palandöken stated, "A comprehensive restructuring will be a breath of fresh air for tradesmen," drawing attention to the difficulties faced by tradesmen.

Restructuring Practices for the Year 2023

Palandöken expressed in a written statement that it is essential to provide a restructuring for the collection of public receivables before the new year. Reminding that a similar application was carried out in 2023, he said, "Within the scope of this restructuring, everyone has restructured a certain portion of their debts."

Goal of a Debt-Free Future

Palandöken emphasized that tradesmen and craftsmen aim to enter the year 2026 debt-free, stating:

"A comprehensive restructuring will provide a significant breath of fresh air for tradesmen. This idle money will be reintegrated into the economy. This restructuring is a necessity. Everyone wants to enter the year 2026 debt-free and is looking forward to making a fresh start. We are having difficulty obtaining loans from banks to sustain our commercial activities. This situation is not injustice; it is merely an arrangement to make debts more manageable. If such a restructuring is implemented, the state can obtain significant revenue; citizens can, however, free themselves from these burdens with the economic recovery in the upcoming period."
