A delegation from the international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s held talks with First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Tajikistan, Ashurboy Abduvalizoda Solehzoda, during a working visit to the country, Avesta.tj reports, citing the ministry's press service.
During the meeting, the Tajik side expressed appreciation to the agency for maintaining Tajikistan’s stable sovereign credit rating, highlighting the significance of such an assessment for strengthening the country’s investment climate and expanding international economic cooperation.
Solehzoda briefed the S&P delegation on the current socio-economic situation in Tajikistan. He noted that despite global economic volatility, the country's economy has remained resilient. In 2024, Tajikistan recorded 8.4% GDP growth, continuing a five-year trend of annual growth exceeding 8%.
Special attention was given to ongoing efforts to maintain macroeconomic stability, implemented under the leadership of President Emomali Rahmon. The government’s consistent policies have helped reduce both domestic and external risks, ensuring sustained economic growth in a challenging global environment.
The Tajik side also proposed that S&P consider revising its credit rating outlook for the country in the medium term. The agency’s representatives responded positively, commending the progress achieved in macroeconomic management and noting the strength of Tajikistan’s economy in the face of global uncertainties.
Both sides reaffirmed their interest in continued constructive cooperation.
