Overview

Tajikistan has made significant progress in developing its economy and reducing poverty in recent years. However, significant challenges remain in infrastructure development (particularly power and transport), and in creating an enabling environment for private sector investment.

ADB is working closely with the government and other development partners to implement wide-ranging reforms in various sectors of the national economy. ADB's program in Tajikistan will continue to support regional cooperation in the energy and transport sectors, while providing policy support for improving the investment climate.
