Sındırgı tradesmen demand the postponement of debts after the earthquake.

The district of Sındırgı in Balıkesir is going through a difficult time due to the series of earthquakes it has experienced in recent years. The earthquakes that occurred on August 10 and October 27 have had a profound impact on local merchants. As the epicenter of both earthquakes, the district is facing material losses and damage to businesses.

In the first earthquake, the number of damaged businesses in the district was recorded as 27, while after the second earthquake, this figure rose to 85, demonstrating the economic challenges faced by shopkeepers. This situation has become a major problem, especially for local merchants who rely on these businesses for their livelihoods.

Irregular income flow and rising expenses have made it difficult for Sındırgı merchants to pay their debts. Merchant representatives have stated that they expect support from the government and authorities, emphasizing that their most urgent demand is the deferral of debts. As the repair processes of businesses and efforts to gain new customers after the earthquake complicate their ability to manage existing debts.

Listening to the voices of merchants is emerging as a responsibility for local governments. Providing the necessary financing for businesses to resume operations is of great importance during this period. In addition, accelerating the repair processes of businesses will also support economic revival in the district of Sındırgı.

Merchants, who continue to feel the effects of the earthquake, are in search of solutions such as debt deferrals, additional support packages, and interest-free loans. These aids will positively affect not only Sındırgı merchants but also the surrounding business world.

The post-earthquake recovery process in Sındırgı is critically important for the survival of local merchants and the revitalization of the district's economy. In light of this data, it is seen as an important step for customers to support local merchants during this challenging process.
