The Republic of Tajikistan is demonstrating record-breaking dynamics in attracting foreign investment. By the end of 2025, the volume of foreign capital entering the country's economy reached $6.9 billion, a 35.1% increase compared to the previous year. Sulton Rahimzoda, Chairman of the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management, announced these figures during a year-end press conference, Avesta.tj reports.
The capital inflow was distributed between traditional CIS partners and non-CIS countries:
-
CIS Countries: Contributed $3.03 billion (43.8% of the total), showing an impressive growth of 54.4%.
-
Non-CIS Countries: Accounted for $3.89 billion (56.2%), marking a 23.1% increase over 2024 levels.
The surge in investment attractiveness resulted from a systemic overhaul of the regulatory framework. Key milestones in 2025 included:
-
New Investment Law: Adopted on May 14, 2025, to stimulate business activity and streamline incentives.
-
Long-term Strategy: Approval of the "Investment Attraction Strategy until 2040," setting the development vector for decades to come.
-
New Agreements: The Committee signed 9 investment contracts worth $681.2 million, expected to create over 3.7 thousand new jobs.
The year’s flagship event was the International Investment Forum held in October under the auspices of President Emomali Rahmon. The forum concluded with the signing of more than 50 cooperation documents totaling $4.1 billion, providing a strong foundation for continued growth in 2026.
