The volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Turkmenistan for 2022 amounted to $936 million, according to the report of the Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report for the past year.
According to this indicator, Turkmenistan ranks third in the Central Asian region. The report notes that net investment inflows to the countries of the region increased by 39%.
Against the backdrop of the global crisis, Turkmenistan remains on the list of countries with a positive FDI rate, despite a global decline of 12%.
The decline mainly affected developed countries, where investment inflows fell by 37% to $378 billion. Developing countries increased this figure to 4%.
Attracted investments are mainly aimed at the development of the Turkmen fuel and energy sector, the chemical industry and agriculture.
