ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, May 15. Turkmenistan’s
real GDP is projected to continue growing at a steady rate of 6.3
percent in both 2025 and 2026, according to the latest report by
the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD),
Trend reports.
The country’s economic growth remains robust, primarily driven
by strong performance in the mining, construction, trade, and
services sectors. This momentum is supported by expanding credit
availability, rising wages, and continued investment activity.
Despite global challenges, including a decline in commodity
prices that is expected to impact export revenues, Turkmenistan’s
current account and fiscal balances are estimated to remain in
surplus. Public debt levels remain negligible, further supporting
economic stability.
The EBRD notes that the country’s economic expansion will be
sustained by ongoing investments in key sectors such as energy,
infrastructure, agriculture, and food processing, ensuring
continued growth through 2026.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the
country’s leading investor, has been cooperating with Uzbekistan
since April 1992. EBRD aims at improving the country’s investment
climate, providing freedom to mass media, promoting women’s
entrepreneurship, and supporting Uzbekistan’s green transition.
