Hisarcıklıoğlu, who issued a message in regards to Lütfi Elvan being appointed Minister of Treasury and Finance, said in his statement:

“I congratulate Mr. Lütfi Elvan, deputy of Mersin and Chairman of the Plan Budget Commission, who was appointed Minister of Treasury and Finance with the authorization of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and wish him success in his new post. I hope he will bring good will to our country and our nation.

Mr. Lütfi Elvan is an experienced statesman who has taken on many important duties at the state levels, especially the State Planning Organization (DPT), and has served successfully in the Ministries of Prime Minister, Transport and Development.

I believe that with his knowledge and experience, he will provide good services to our country and our nation as Minister of Treasury and Finance. I wish him all the best in this new mission.

At a time when the global economy is going through a very difficult period and the uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic and the new era after the US elections continue, we will continue to work very closely with all relevant institutions as the Turkish private sector. We will continue to advance our goal of becoming a stronger economy with consultation, common cause and coordination.

I would like to thank Mr. Berat Albayrak, who asked to be excused from his post, for his work in this difficult time.”
