In 2025, Tajikistan attracted $6.96 billion in foreign investment into its economy, 35 percent, or $1.8 billion, more than in 2024. The figures were presented to journalists by Sulton Rahimzoda, chairman of the State Committee on Investment and State Property Management, Asia-Plus reported.
Rahimzoda added that investment inflows from Commonwealth of Independent States countries reached $3.3 billion during the reporting period, more than $1.6 billion higher than a year earlier.
Still, the larger share — 56.2 percent of the total — consisted of investments from non-CIS countries. In monetary terms, these amounted to $3.9 billion. Compared with 2024, however, this figure grew more modestly, by $731.3 million.
The head of the investment committee noted that his agency had signed nine agreements worth more than $681 million. These initiatives, spanning various sectors of the economy, are expected to create more than 3,778 new jobs. They are also aimed at boosting Tajikistan’s production and export capacity and organizing the manufacture of import-substituting goods, though specific sectors were not named.
Rahimzoda stressed that one of the key factors in ensuring a stable inflow of foreign investment is the improvement of the regulatory framework and amendments to existing legislation in line with modern requirements. He recalled that, at his agency’s initiative, a new version of the law “On Investments and the Promotion of Investment Activity” was adopted on May 14, 2025.
Tajikistan is actively cooperating with foreign partners in a number of areas, with the completion of the Rogun hydroelectric power plant among the top priorities. Earlier this year it was reported that the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development would allocate $100 million for the project.
In August 2025, President Emomali Rahmon announced agreements with investors totaling more than $2 billion for the completion of Rogun, adding that the attraction of a further $1.7 billion was under discussion.
In particular, the country agreed on grants from the World Bank ($650 million) and the Qatar Fund for Development ($50 million), as well as loans from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank ($500 million), the Islamic Development Bank, and Arab funds ($450 million).
