We attach great importance to fulfilling these demands. In today's meeting we held with the ambassadors of EU member countries, we shared the global economic outlook, basic indicators of the Turkish economy and the details of our economic reforms, and we had fruitful discussions in the question and answer section. At the meeting, we detailed our policies in the fields of public finance discipline, combating inflation, strengthening the financial sector, reducing the current account deficit and promoting employment.
