Regarding the issue of reducing the number of employment in banks due to the current circumstances, the Council assured the safety of “the necessity for bank administrations to adhere to legal principles when applying the termination of their employees’ contracts.” The Council stressed that “the compensation to be paid to the expatriates must be commensurate with the difficult living and social reality.
