The country now imports 12.7% of the energy consumed, compared to 8% in 2009. Overall, some good signals exist, such as the government’s efforts to curb pollution levels and the strong progress in providing access to energy. However, its sustainability metrics still lag behind many countries, with the share of non-fossil fuels decreasing by 2% since 2009.
