Batman focuses on industrial growth and employment initiatives

The city of Batman is focusing on economic growth and employment through industrial support and large-scale projects. During the opening of the 3rd Batman Textile Fair, Governor Ekrem Canalp reported that the regional unemployment rate has dropped to 9.6%, down from 17.2% in 2022. To further boost local industry, the Tekstil Kent project is nearing completion, aiming to increase regional employment capacity and reduce seasonal migration.

In addition to industrial expansion, local authorities are working to strengthen the business environment. Naif Gümüş, the Batman Provincial Director of Social Security, met with representatives from MÜSİAD and HAKSİAD to discuss social security incentives, production capacity, and the importance of registered employment. These discussions focused on utilizing current incentive mechanisms to support new hires and addressing the challenges faced by employers.

Infrastructure developments are also underway, including plans for a new city square and parking facility to host future fairs and events.
