TAJIKISTAN

Tajikistan's economy is gradually recovering from the 2009 growth slowdown, with the real GDP growth rate rising to 6.9 percent in the first half of 2011. A timely policy response and generally good overall macroeconomic management, supported by emergency loans from the IMF and the World Bank helped Tajikistan recover from the global crisis. Economic growth fell to 3.9 percent in 2009 during the peak of the crisis, but has since risen to 6.5 percent in 2010, and to 6.9 percent in the first half of 2011. However, despite these achievements, the country continues to face challenges related to unemployment, food security, banking sector weaknesses, unfavorable investment climate for the private sector, high dependence on remittances inflows, and vulnerability to external shocks. Achieving energy independence, creating more job opportunities, and reducing poverty remain key long-tem priorities. The World Bank has been supporting Tajikistan in the development of the energy and agriculture sectors, as well as in providing better services in education, health, social protection, and public sector areas. The World Bank’s objectives are to reduce the negative impact of the crisis on poverty and vulnerability; and pave the way for post-crisis recovery and sustained development.
