Why is Türkiye important in oil trading?
Türkiye is a transit and trading crossroads linking Middle Eastern, Caspian and Mediterranean supply with European markets. Its ports and pipelines, and its position between producing and consuming regions, make it a natural base for coordinating crude and product trade. The 3FB Energy & Trade trading desk is located in Istanbul.
A regional crossroads
Türkiye connects producing regions to the east and south with demand centres to the west. Its Mediterranean and Black Sea coastlines, ports and pipeline infrastructure make it an important corridor for crude oil and refined products.
