More Than 2,600 New Industrial Enterprises Have Been Opened in Tajikistan Over the Past Seven Years
Over the past seven years, Tajikistan’s industrial sector has made a significant leap forward, with more than 2,600 new enterprises put into operation and over 87,000 jobs created. In 2025 alone, 400 production facilities began operating across the country, reflecting the successful implementation of an accelerated industrialization strategy. As a result of these measures, industrial output increased 2.5 times, while the growth rate of the industrial sector reached an impressive 22 percent last year.
Particular attention is being paid to the mining industry, where production volumes rose from 7.7 billion somoni in 2020 to 26 billion somoni in 2025. At the dawn of independence, the country produced only gold, silver, and lead powder, whereas today the range of mineral products has expanded to 17 categories. Gold extraction has increased sevenfold, while lead powder production has grown ninefold compared to figures from thirty years ago.
The government plans to maintain annual sectoral growth of at least 25 percent over the next five years. To this end, a new industrialization program for 2026–2030 is being developed, focusing on the deep processing of local raw materials, including precious metals and medicinal plants. For the population, this means the continued creation of stable jobs, the development of import substitution, and the strengthening of the national economy through the export of finished products rather than raw materials alone.
