T眉rkiye's energy import bill increased by 122.5% to $8.08 billion in June compared to the same month of 2021, according to data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute on Friday.
The overall energy import bill soared last month due to an increase in global energy prices and a revival in economic activity post COVID-19.
