This situation also reveals the maturity level of our Capital Markets and Stock Exchange. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks who contributed to the IPO’s that took place this year.

The second aspect that makes this day special is that for the first time in the history of our Exchange, we host an Opening Bell Ceremony of two companies together at the same time. I would like to extend my thanks to the esteemed managers of both companies for creating an environment that reflects this synergy by holding this Opening Bell Ceremony together with great devotion and a very significant visionary perspective.
