Concept of the Dushanbe International Investment Forum – 2025

Introduction

In the modern world, capital as a resource is an essential factor in ensuring economic diversification. It is one of the main drivers making a country attractive for cooperation with the global community, strengthening domestic production, and expanding foreign economic activity.

The Government of the Republic of Tajikistan pays special attention to attracting investments into the country's economy and has identified private sector development, entrepreneurship, and investment as the primary tools for achieving national goals in the National Development Strategy until 2030.

To strengthen economic and investment cooperation and accelerate the processes of industrialization and digitalization, 2022-2026 has been declared the "Years of Industrial Development" and 2025-2030 the "Years of Digital Economy and Innovation." Additionally, to support the green transition, the "Green Economy Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2023-2037" has been adopted.

The government considers strengthening reforms to improve the investment climate as one of its top economic policy priorities. Through the implementation of an "open-door policy," continuous efforts are made to expand the geography of investment inflows.

In this context, state authorities are working to create favorable conditions for entrepreneurship and investment activities, making the national economy more attractive for investors and focusing it on export-oriented growth.

In addition to ongoing reforms, significant efforts are being made to develop investment infrastructure, strengthen human resources, train specialists, and promote the country's potential and opportunities to attract investment.

The study of advanced global practices, innovative approaches, and modern trends in investment attraction is essential.

The Dushanbe International Investment Forum – 2025, as outlined in this document, is one of the key initiatives to present Tajikistan as an attractive and promising investment destination.
