Regional Energy Hub

LNG across Black Sea – Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnection (AGRI) project initiated by three states together with NABUCCO/White Stream – huge potential to transport gas from the Caspian to Europe

The only country in the region (which doesn’t have its own gas resource) that was not effected by gas crises in January 2009

Georgia/Romania MoU for transportation of carbon resources from Caspian via Black Sea

AGRI

Reliable transit country and regional energy hub

– Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline

– Baku-Supsa oil pipeline

– South-Caucasus gas pipeline (SCP) from Shah-Deniz

– North-South Gas pipeline

– Georgia-Azerbaijan Southern Gas (GASP)

Gas supply contracts with Azerbaijan for 10 years and with Shah Deniz for 20 years

Transit role for oil & gas – pipelines and railway

– Circa 1.6% of world oil production

• Growing consumption on the Turkish electricity

market expandable to Iraq, Syria and EU countries

• Net electricity exporter since 2007

• Net exports for 2010 (1 TWH), double by 2013 (2

TWH)

• New hydro projects, potential export cap. 6 TWH,

$300 million by 2018.

• Construction of 500 and 154 KV power transmission

line to Turkey

• Additional new 500 KV interconnection to Turkey is

under negotiation

• Huge untapped hydro resources, only 18% of hydro

potential utilized so far

• Once all three electricity lines are operational, total

transmission capacity to Turkey will reach more than

2000 MW - 15 times more than current capacity

Ensuring No Policy Drift

Fiscal responsibility

Government expenditure capped at 30% of GDP

Budget deficit capped at 3% of GDP

Government debt capped at 60% of GDP

No budget earmarks

Since 1995, no restrictions on currency convertibility or repatriation of capital & profit

Ban on state ownership of banks and on the imposition of price controls

No state-owned banks since 1995 and no price controls since the early 1990s

Ban on an increase in the number of licenses and permits

Ban on an increase in the number of state or independent regulators

Currently, independent regulators exist only in financial services, communications and utilities

Means-tested assistance rendered through vouchers and other ways that empower citizens and give them

choice (in healthcare, education, etc), rather than by funding directly state-owned service providers

Deviation from these thresholds would be possible under the negative GDP growth conditions, but the Government would be required to develop a plan aimed at reverting these ratios within three years from the breach
