Turkish natural gas demand decline

摘要

Over-optimistic projections made by BOTAS in 2012 were based on calculations of electricity demand, population, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) growth which had proved accurate in 2013 and 2014. However, on the basis of these projections, the government decided to take solid measures to prevent such a growth in demand - which might have more than doubled by 2030 without intervention, and would also have affected Turkey's economic and political security.
