Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek stated that most of the property directorates will be closed within the scope of austerity measures in the public sector.
Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek stated that the Presidential Circular on austerity measures instructed the restructuring of the property directorates affiliated to his Ministry and said, “300 property directorates will be closed, 100 in the first phase and 200 in the second phase.”
Şimşek reminded that the finance directorates, which are one of the provincial organizations of the Ministry, provide accounting and other treasury services and said, “The duties performed by the finance directorates will henceforth be carried out by another finance directorate selected from provincial centers or according to certain criteria through service consolidation.” Şimşek pointed out that with this step, a significant saving will be achieved in the resources allocated to provincial organizations.
