Natural gas prices are increased by 48% for the industry and electricity producers. Even though, for consumers it's not increased, this will affect electricity and other prices.
Good grief! Isn't that a bit excessive? As far as i know, we're buying gas on a fixed price. They can't just hike up the price, right?

Fixed in dollar and lots of it is from LNG which is usually paid in spot market prices, so high right now.

Does anyone know why such drastic measures are beinG applied?

I mean its a massive 48% after all

Europe and Turkey use different contract pricing methods.

AFAİK our gas contracts are subject to oil prices and long term.

Europe is using contracts of spot markets.

So if gas and oil prices are high in January, Turkish consumers will meet new prices.

Nothing to worry. still you have 2 long holidays in front. Next Ramadan and Eid holidays you can work.
Also you could compansate it dropping interest rates to make Turkish labours cheaper in order to increase slavery.

Can we expect a surplus next year
If these numbers are anything to go by and considering that turkish exports may be boosted even further, then is it probable to see a trade surplus next year?

Calm down man
Iam just inquiring about a statement
Considering the numbers, wouldnt it be feasible?
Maybe if there is not a major political turmoil though i dont understand why everybody is fixed on these numbers when other indicators are mich more important right now.

Türkiye will be an exporter country in 2-4 years. A surplus next year seems difficult we need a jump as high as we have been doing this year. But we will see there is certainly a slim chance.

No, the most important thing in a country is how well its companies are doing. Average people are secondary. Sad but true. Nowadays, companies like Tosyali, Arçelik, Beko, defense industry giants, Koç Holding are investing like there is no tomorrow.

There won't be a strong middle class without strong companies. In fact, without strong companies, there will be no economy.
