The Turkish lira recorded slight changes during early trading this morning, meanwhile, the state-owned Turkish Petroleum Pipelines Company (Botas), crude oil and natural gas pipelines and trade, on Wednesday, announced an increase in natural gas prices by 10 percent to 40 percent for industrial production, while the price of homes will be raised by 30%. The increase in the price of natural gas used in industry will be 10% for those who use more than 300,000 cubic meters and 40% for those who consume more than that amount. At the same time, Turkey's Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) raised electricity prices by 15% to 25%, according to the statement published in the Official Gazette. Global changes in oil and gas prices significantly affect the Turkish economy, as it is almost completely dependent on foreign energy imports. This raised inflation levels to record levels that contributed to pressure on the Turkish lira
