Abstract

Turkish economy is highly dependent on fossil energy imports. With limited domestic production of energy and rapid industrialization, urbanization and population growth, Turkish vulnerability to costly energy imports poses a serious threat to the country’s comparative advantage while generating rising current account deficit in the short-term. To date, Turkey has managed to obtain its imported natural gas through long-term contracts, typically 15–20 years, with relatively favourable import prices.
