EBRD Highlights Surge in Investments Fueling Turkmenistan’s Sustainable Growth

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has published its latest Regional Economic Prospects report, projecting an average economic growth of 6.1 per cent for Central Asian countries in 2025.

The forecast covers Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, signaling a positive outlook for the region’s economies, The Caspian Post informs via Turkmen media.

Turkmenistan, in particular, is showing remarkable economic momentum. According to the report, the country’s real GDP grew by 6.3 per cent in the first half of 2025. This growth has been largely driven by strong performance in trade, transport, services, and construction sectors. Investment activity also surged, with volumes increasing by 15.6 per cent.

Looking ahead, the EBRD expects Turkmenistan to sustain its 6.3 per cent growth rate through both 2025 and 2026. This continued expansion is anticipated to be supported by ongoing investments in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and food processing. Experts underline that these areas are vital to Turkmenistan’s economic stability and resilience, particularly in the face of global economic challenges.
