The case discusses a potential transaction opportunity between a Japanese trading company, Toka, and a Turkmen state-owned oil and gas company, TG Corporation. The opportunity arose from a governmental contact between the Turkmen and Chinese governments in the interest of increasing Turkmen gas exports to China, as well as the proposed construction of an additional Central Asia gas pipeline.

Learning Objectives

The case provides an interesting opportunity to introduce the issues of country risk and political risk inherent in international trade in the context of the emerging markets. It also provides a comprehensive review of different sources/classes of risks associated with the trade related to emerging markets as well as the difficulties in managing and mitigating these risks.
