EBRD Projects Stable Economic Growth for Turkmenistan Through 2026

Turkmenistan’s economy is expected to maintain a steady growth trajectory, with real GDP forecasted to rise by 6.3 percent in both 2025 and 2026, according to the latest report from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

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, The Caspian Post reports, citing Trend news agency.

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.
