The Eurasian Development Bank has decided to allocate $46 million to Tajikistan in 2023 for the implementation of investment projects, Ruslan Dalenov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the EDB, said in Almaty, speaking on the results of the bank's activities this year.
A country strategy for Tajikistan has been developed in terms of cooperation and investment, Dalenov said. In early December, an agreement was signed for the implementation of investment projects worth $2.6 million. This is the first project in recent years.
The priority areas of cooperation between the Eurasian Development Bank and Tajikistan are energy, food security and trade, Dalenov stressed.
