Tajikistan External Debt (% of GDP)

External Debt in Tajikistan

According to estimates from the National Bank of Tajikistan, annual GDP grew by 8.0% in 2022 due to stronger output in the agricultural, transport, and communication sectors. Turning to Q1 2023, momentum accelerated: Annual GDP growth in January–March reached 8.2% amid likely stronger services activity. However, growth in the agricultural and industrial sectors slowed compared to Q4. Meanwhile, a sustained softening in price pressures since the end of 2022 prompted the National Bank to cut its key policy rate in February and May by a total of 300 basis points. This loosening should have boosted investment and spending in early 2023. In other news, in May, Tajik authorities secured a USD 500 million loan from a Chinese bank to continue the construction of the Roghun hydropower plant. The finalization of the dam, earmarked for 2028, should enable the country to become an electricity exporter.
