Tajikistan (throughout the report, Tajikistan is used to indicate the Republic of Tajikistan) is working to improve the country’s investment environment and facilitate the inflow of FDI. At the same time, it is increasing its investment-promotion efforts, recognising that improvements in the investment climate and targeted investment promotion practices must go hand in hand to attract investors to Tajikistan.
An OECD public-private Working Group (WG) was created in early 2021 to help design targeted policies to feed into Tajikistan’s investment promotion practices. The WG met virtually three times in 2021. It was chaired by the First Deputy Chair of the State Committee of Investment and State Property Management (SCISPM), currently Mr Khurshed Mirzo. The WG brought together stakeholders from different ministries, the State Committee for Investment and State Property Management (SCISPM), investors, business associations, and NGOs active in the field, as well as representatives of the development community.
This peer review note reflects the work of the WG as well as the contribution of international experts from Kazakhstan, France and Georgia. The final recommendations outlined in the note were peer reviewed during the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Roundtable end 2021 in a virtual manner as part of a series of OECD Eurasia webinars. This exercise involved both international experts and representatives from OECD member countries and other Central Asian countries
