The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has released its latest Regional Economic Prospects report, projecting an average GDP growth of 6.1% across Central Asia — including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — in 2025, Orient.tm reports.
Turkmenistan is among the countries demonstrating strong momentum. In the first half of 2025, the country’s real GDP expanded by 6.3%, driven largely by trade, transport, services, and construction. Investments also surged, rising by 15.6% year-on-year.
According to the EBRD forecast, Turkmenistan’s economy is expected to maintain a growth rate of 6.3% in both 2025 and 2026. The outlook is supported by continued investments in energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and food processing.
Experts highlight these sectors as key drivers of national development, ensuring resilience amid global economic shifts.
