🇧🇬🇭🇺 Bulgaria Continues to Be a Reliable Gas Transit Country for Hungary On 27 May 2024, the Bulgarian President paid a visit to the Hungarian capital to meet with the President of Hungary, Tamás Sulyok, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. These meetings have resulted in the commitment of both sides to develop economic and cultural cooperation, keep the current arrangement in natural gas transit from Bulgaria, and support the Hungarian agenda for its upcoming presidency over the Council of the European Union. Bulgaria holds a strategic geographic position due to its location on the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector, a key pipeline connecting the Trans-Adriatic and Trans-Anatolian Pipelines (TAP and TANAP) with the Interconnectors of Bulgaria–Serbia and Serbia–Hungary, the construction of which was finalized in 2021. Bulgaria is also the key country through which natural gas from the Turkish Stream pipeline enters the EU. Both of these factors make Bulgaria the key country in the natural gas supply to the Balkans. This route is significant not only due to the current volume of Hungarian imports but also for its potential to diversify away from Russian natural gas supplies. In December 2023, the Bulgarian Parliament repealed a law that was set to increase tariffs on natural gas transit. This move was welcomed by Hungary. The Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade described Bulgaria as a ‘reliable transit partner,’ emphasizing the importance of the repeal of the ‘hostile law.’ The majority of Hungary's natural gas consumption is met through imports. These include Russian natural gas via the Turkish Stream and the Southern Gas Corridor, which is the main route for diversifying Hungary's natural gas sources. Through this corridor, Hungary is already importing gas from Türkiye and Azerbaijan, with plans to import Turkmen gas as well. In 2024, Türkiye is set to export 275 million cubic meters (mcm) of gas to Hungary, while Azerbaijan is expected to export 100 mcm, with the potential to increase to 1 billion cubic meters (bcm). Turkmenistan is expected to start exporting 1 bcm annually to Hungary. The total potential capacity of gas imports via the Southern Gas Corridor to Hungary is projected to be 2.275 bcm annually, making it a viable alternative to the current imports of Russian gas, which total 4.5 bcm annually. It is important to note that in 2023, Hungary received 5.6 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas via the Bulgarian route, accounting for 65 per cent of the country’s total natural gas imports. This underscores the significance of the Bulgarian route for Hungary's energy security. Join Inner Eurasian Reporter channel: https://lnkd.in/dYcpPiwq To read more: https://lnkd.in/d3NhZ5zW

The Euro in Southeast Europe. The Enlargement Process and Geopolitical Turbulences. A highly recommendable conference 13-15 September 2024 in Tutzing, close to Munich (at the shores of the Starnberg lake and with a picture-book-like view of the Alps). The euro, and previously the Deutsche Mark, have long been the currencies of choice in Southeast Europe. Purchasing real estate, a car, or even a personal computer, is habitually carried out in €, as formerly in DM. This is a reflection of the region’s high degree of integration with the economies of Western Europe and, in particular, the importance of migrant workers’ remittances to the region. However, the euro is also increasingly introduced as the official currency across the region. Five countries in the region are now members of the eurozone (Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Cyprus and Slovakia). Montenegro and Kosovo use the single currency as legal tender, but are not part of the eurozone. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria have pegged their respective national currencies to the euro. What are the economic and geopolitic implications of this for the EU and the region, especially for those national economies which are not part of the Union? The conference language is English.

Check out my Policy Note on Imbalances in the Current Account of the Greek Economy: Causes and Policy Recommendations to be published by #SUERFpolicybrief. https://lnkd.in/gusSaUiy
#SUERFpolicybrief “Imbalances in the Current Account of the Greek Economy: Causes and Policy Recommendations” by Bragoudakis Zacharias, PhD (Bank of Greece and National & Kapodistrian University of Athens) This paper focuses on one of the main macroeconomic imbalances of the Greek economy: the current account deficit. The competitiveness of the Greek tradable sector improved significantly after the crisis, mainly due to the reduction of labour costs, leading to a significant increase in exports. However, the import dependence of the economy means significant import increases during periods of growth, leading to a worsening of the trade deficit. Policies to reduce the deficit should aim at: (a) exports growth, through the increase in price competitiveness via structural reforms in the goods market, which would result in reduced profit margins; and (b) imports reduction, through the support of capital producing businesses. Finally, a well-designed financing programme to support export-oriented companies and/or high-tech companies would further enhance export performance. https://lnkd.in/gebqCyBH #MacroeconomicImbalances #CurrentAccountBalance #StructuralReforms

Lavrov considers barter trade system as viable option in Russia-China relations The Russian foreign minister underscored that relations with China were at their highest level "in the entire history of their existence" MOSCOW, September 2/ Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says some kind of barter system could potentially be used in trade with China. "Almost 95% of trade with China is serviced in rubles and yuan. I do not see the need for a barter system with China at this point, although there is nothing so bad about it. If it is convenient and allows you not to depend on bank transfers, which the United States and its allies are trying to suppress in every possible way, then why not," the minister said, addressing lecturers and students of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO). Lavrov underscored that relations with China were at their highest level "in the entire history of their existence." According to him, Russia and China are well aware of the threats posed by maintaining elements of globalization, which were conceived by the West and have now been weaponized. The Russian top diplomat also said that alternative payment and settlement platforms will be created within the framework of bilateral relations, BRICS and the SCO. "By the way, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has already proposed something along these lines outside of BRICS, where this work is underway and where a special report of central banks and the Finance Ministry will be presented for the summit in Kazan. Lula proposed doing something similar within the community of Latin American and Caribbean countries. So, this train is already rolling, and it cannot be stopped," the minister noted. #business #finance #financialservices
