ALMATY, Jul 31 (NNN-KNA) – Tajikistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth, is expected to slow to seven percent this year, 4.9 percent in 2026, and 4.7 percent in 2027, down from 8.4 percent last year, according to the World Bank’s annual Tajikistan Economic Update, released yesterday.
The projected slowdown reflects the anticipated normalisation of remittance inflows, persistent global trade-related uncertainties, that could disrupt supply chains, and weaker demand for metals and minerals, except gold, the report said.
Inflation, which stood at 3.4 percent last year, is forecast to rise to 3.9 percent this year, 4.5 percent in 2026, and 4.7 percent in 2027.
Tajikistan’s real GDP growth reached 8.4 percent last year, and stood at 8.2 percent in the first quarter of this year, driven largely by the services and industrial sectors.
The World Bank is currently financing 26 projects in Tajikistan, with a total commitment of 1.9 billion U.S. dollars.– NNN-KNA
