THE EFFECTS OF THE 6 FEBRUARY
KAHRAMANMARAŞ EARTHQUAKES ON THE

BUSINESS WORLD

Hasan Çağlayan DÜNDAR

ABSTRACT
In the consecutive earthquakes that occurred in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, more
than 50,000 citizens, each of whom was considered a precious part of Türkiye, lost their lives,
and great devastation was experienced in 11 provinces. Alongside the irreparable loss of lives,
these 11 provinces were also severely affected socioeconomically. Our government, with all its
institutions, has been conducting significant efforts to mitigate the effects of this destruction
and return to normal life. Undoubtedly, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges
of Türkiye (TOBB), which is the umbrella organization of the Turkish business world, took
immediate and subsequent intensive actions in the earthquake-stricken region to expedite the
recovery process. This article will address both the impacts of the February 6 earthquakes on the
business world and the activities carried out by TOBB in the earthquake-stricken region.

Keywords: February 6 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes, TOBB, business world, non-governmental
organizations, disaster management.
