As end of 2000, the total primary energy consumption is expected to increase to 87.5 million tons of oil equivalent and per capita consumption will
reach 1,339 kg of oil equivalent. It is estimated that production of primary energy will be realised as 28.8 million tons of oil equivalent.
In 2000, total installed and total production capacities of the power plants are going to reach 27,400 MW and 124,2 million kWh respectively.

Studies of long-term electricity demand based on alternative economic growth scenarios indicate that demand will reach 196,6 billion kWh in the
year 2005 with an installed capacity of about 40,000 MW. It is anticipated that, in the year 2010, electricity demand will increase to 294,5 billion
kWh while installed capacity will be about 60,000 MW. In other words, in order to secure the supply of energy, an additional capacity of 34,000
MW should be installed until 2010. This necessitates investments of approximately USD 3.5 billion per annum.

Turkey seeks private sector's involvement in the energy and infrastructure projects in order to keep up with the rapidly growing demand. Current
legal framework allows private companies to construct new power plants either under Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or Build-Operate (BO)
methods or as auto-producers. Also, private companies are allowed to operate existing power plants and distribution companies by receiving their
operational rights through Transfer of Operational Rights (TOR) scheme.

Recent changes in the legislation:

1. International arbitration is allowed for settlement of disputes.


2. The authority of the High Council has been limited to giving an advisory opinion about concession contract and agreements within
two months, rather than a binding decision.
3. Electricity production and distribution projects are included the BOT scheme and BOT contracts are not considered as concession
contracts, but private law contracts.

Three gas fired power plants, with the total capacity of 1136 MW that were realised within the framework of BOT model, are in operation since
1999. Meanwhile TEAS's gas fired Bursa Natural Gas Power Plant was also commissioned in 1999. Two new natural gas combined cycle power
plants are under construction, under the Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model (Adapazari-770 MW, Gebze-1,540 MW). The construction of the third
BOO plant (Izmir-1,540 MW) will be started soon. These three BOO projects are expected to be completed in 2002-2003. The construction of
another Coal Fired BOO project 2 X 605 MW Iskenderun Sugözü Thermal Power Plant has also started. Meanwhile, total auto-production capacity
has reached to 2632 MW.

The tender for the establishment of Nuclear Power plant has been cancelled because of deficiency in government financial resources.

Supply availability including the ongoing projects will not be enough to meet power demand up to 2002. As an urgent action government decided
to buy electricity from mobile plants and in addition to 100 MW mobile plants, recently announced an international tender for 4 X 100 MW mobile
plants.

The situation beyond 2000 will be as follows:

 Support to SME's

In 2009, the EIB provided EUR 1.5bn (57% of its overall annual lending in Turkey) to support SMEs and small and medium
infrastructure investments to be carried out by private or public bodies, as well as beneficiaries of any size. Financing was for
investments in the fields of industry, tourism, services, knowledge economy, energy and environmental protection in Turkey.

 Energy and environment

Efficient infrastructure in transport, energy and environment is key to the development and prosperity of Turkey and its accession
process to the European Union. In 2009, the EIB provided with a total of EUR 460m support for developing the country energy
potential. In renewable energy production, the EIB financed, along with other multilaterals the Osmaniye Windfarm, which is the
largest project in this sector in Turkey. This loan with Zorlu Rotor Elektrik received the distinction of being nominated European
Onshore Wind Project Deal of the Year

Turkey has a non-discrimination and equal treatment policy towards foreign investors, thus foreigners have the same rights and liabilities as locals. There are no rules
requiring Turkish participation in the capital or management of a company with foreign capital; a company may be established with 100 percent foreign capital. Almost all
sectors are open to foreign capital.

The company establishment procedures have been simplified to a great extent through the shift from a “screening system” to a “monitoring system” for foreign investments
and through the elimination of the unnecessary procedures to set up a business for both local and foreign investors.

The Turkish economy has shown remarkable performance with its steady growth over the last six years. A
sound macroeconomic strategy in combination with prudent fiscal policies and major structural reforms in
effect since 2002, has integrated the Turkish economy into the globalized world, while transforming the
country into one of the major recipients of FDI in its region.

The structural reforms, hastened by Turkey’s EU accession process, have paved the way for
comprehensive changes in a number of areas. The main objectives of these efforts are to increase the role
of the private sector in the Turkish economy, to enhance the efficiency and resiliency of the financial
sector, and to place the social security system on a more solid foundation. As these reforms have
strengthened the macroeconomic fundamentals of the country, inflation drastically decreased to 6.5
percent by the end of 2009, down from 30 percent in 2002, while the EU-defined general government
nominal debt stock fell to 45.5 percent from 74 percent in a period of seven years between 2002 and
2009. Hence, Turkey has been meeting the “60 percent-EU Maastricht criteria” for the public debt stock
since 2004.
 

As the GDP levels almost tripled to USD 618 billion in 2009, up from USD 231 billion in 2002, GDP per
capita soared to USD 8,590, up from USD 3,500 in the given period.

The visible improvements in the Turkish economy have also boosted foreign trade, while exports reached
USD 102 billion by the end of 2009, up from USD 36 billion in 2002. Similarly, tourism revenues, which
were around USD 8.5 billion in 2002, exceeded USD 21 billion in 2009.

Significant improvements in such a short period of time have registered Turkey on the world economic
scale as an exceptional emerging economy, the 16th largest economy in the world and the 6th largest
economy when compared with the EU countries, according to GDP figures (at PPP) in 2009.
