BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 11. Tajikistan announced
measures to improve the investment climate for industrial projects
as part of efforts to accelerate the country's industrial
development.
This was reflected in a press release issued by the country’s
Ministry of Energy and Water Resources following President Emomali
Rahmon's address during his meeting with officials, industrial
sector representatives, and community leaders in the country’s
Sughd region.
"Regional, city and district authorities were instructed to take
effective measures to develop industrial infrastructure, create a
favorable investment climate, allocate land for new production
projects, support private-sector initiatives and organize
export-oriented production," the statement said.
According to the ministry, the president also stressed that the
development of the metallurgy sector should be viewed as a national
economic priority rather than the responsibility of a single
industry, the ministry noted.
Furthermore, President Rahmon called on entrepreneurs and
investors to make full use of existing opportunities to expand
domestic processing capacities, produce competitive finished goods,
and increase exports.
Meanwhile, attracting private investment has become a key
element of Tajikistan's industrialization strategy. In recent
years, the government has introduced measures to support
manufacturing projects, expand public-private partnerships, and
improve conditions for domestic and foreign investors. Authorities
have identified metallurgy, construction materials, energy,
chemicals, and food processing among the priority sectors expected
to drive industrial growth and diversify the country's economy.
