President of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation, His Excellency, Emomali Rahmon said on April 29 that 87 state investment projects worth 51.6 billion somoni are being implemented in Tajikistan, laying a foundation for national economic development and key sectors.

Speaking at a government meeting, Emomali Rahmon said the implementation of existing projects does not fully meet requirements, with delays observed particularly in energy infrastructure, land reclamation and irrigation, as well as some education facilities.

He instructed relevant bodies to ensure timely and high-quality implementation of state investment projects, strengthen monitoring of financial plans, eliminate deficiencies and prevent delays and inefficient use of funds.

Emomai Rahmon also called for further cooperation with development partners to attract and effectively use additional financing, saying foreign direct investment remains a key factor for economic growth, job creation and the introduction of modern technologies.

The State Committee for Investments and State Property Management was tasked with analyzing the decline in foreign direct investment, presenting an action plan within one month and ensuring its implementation.

He also ordered agencies to intensify efforts to attract capital, promote the country’s economic potential and engage reputable foreign companies in priority projects, while directing investment toward processing industries, modern technologies and value-added production.
