The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has presented a new Regional Economic Prospects report, according to which the economies of Central Asian countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — are expected to grow by an average of 6.1 percent in 2025.

Among the countries demonstrating steady growth is Turkmenistan. According to data from the first half of 2025, the country’s real GDP increased by 6.3 percent. The largest contribution to this result came from trade, transport, services, and construction. The volume of investments grew by 15.6 percent.

According to the EBRD forecast, in 2025 and 2026 Turkmenistan’s economic growth rate will remain at 6.3 percent. The dynamics will be supported by investments in energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and food processing. Experts note that these areas remain key factors in the development of the national economy and ensure its resilience in the face of global changes.
