Turkmenistan invests $5.3 billion in the development of the Eurasian Transport Framework
As of July 1, 2025, Turkmenistan's investment in the development of the Eurasian Transport Framework (ETF) has reached $5.3 billion. This was reported by Report, citing data from the Eurasian Development Bank's (EDB) Transport Projects Observatory.
The ETF unites 13 Eurasian countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Afghanistan, Belarus, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Within this initiative, 325 projects are being implemented or planned in the region, with a total value of over $234 billion.
Over 22% of all investments in the ETF—approximately $53 billion—are concentrated in Central Asia. Almost two-thirds of these funds are allocated to the construction and modernization of major highways, reflecting the country's strategic objective to strengthen transport connectivity and stimulate international trade.
Turkmenistan's contribution makes it one of the prominent participants in the formation of modern Eurasian transport infrastructure.
