ASO President Ardıç: The nature of competition in the global economy is changing

Ankara Chamber of Industry (ASO) President Seyit Ardıç said the nature of global economic competition is shifting, with success now measured not only by production volume but by how much of the value created that countries and firms can retain domestically. Speaking on the record, Ardıç framed the change as a structural challenge for Turkish industry, which must move beyond output metrics toward higher-value, more captive production. The remarks signal a policy emphasis on value retention as a competitiveness benchmark, a theme likely to shape ASO's advocacy on industrial strategy. What to watch next is whether Ankara translates the rhetoric into concrete incentives for upgrading domestic value chains.
