Minister Bayraktar announced! The formula that could zero out the current account deficit

Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said the country’s current-account deficit could be eliminated if its 68% energy import dependence falls below 50%. He noted that energy imports have averaged about $70 billion annually over the past four years. Bayraktar tied the target to nuclear power, expanded domestic production and critical minerals. The remark matters because Turkey’s energy bill is a major driver of its external balance. Watch for concrete policy steps and investment plans in nuclear, renewables and mining.
