The Board of Directors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has approved a new country strategy for Tajikistan, setting priorities until 2030, the Bank’s press service reported.
The document outlines a comprehensive approach combining investments, policy dialogue, and technical assistance. Between 2025 and 2030, the EBRD will focus on two key areas: strengthening a competitive private sector and developing “green” infrastructure.
Main priorities include:
-
enhancing competitiveness and expanding access to finance, especially for small and medium enterprises;
-
promoting inclusivity by supporting opportunities for women and youth;
-
backing governance reforms and improving the business environment;
-
investing in renewable energy, efficiency, and climate resilience;
-
financing transport and digital infrastructure to boost regional connectivity;
-
modernizing municipal services such as water supply, transport, and utilities.
According to the EBRD, these measures will support Tajikistan’s transition to a green economy and raise living standards. The Bank projects GDP growth of 7% in 2025 and 5.7% in 2026, driven by infrastructure investments.
Since the start of its operations in Tajikistan, the EBRD has invested more than €1 billion across 185 projects.
