In recent years, particularly since the publication of its Investment Policy Review (IPR) in 2016, the Government of Tajikistan has adopted several policy measures to enhance the business environment. Reforms were notably adopted to improve the strategic, legal and institutional framework affecting investment attraction and entrepreneurship development.
In 2021, the Government requested UNCTAD to conduct an assessment of the implementation of the recommendations
in the IPR. This Report evaluates the progress made to strengthen the investment environment and highlights additional
actions to support the country’s objectives and foster sustainable development based on the Investment Policy Framework
for Sustainable Development (IPFSD; UNCTAD, 2015).
Since 1999, the IPR programme has conducted assessments of the strategic, legal and institutional framework for investment in more than 55 economies.
The IPRs propose action-oriented and tailored recommendations with the aim of enhancing an economy’s investment climate, in line with sustainable development and national development objectives.
Reports to assess the degree of implementation of the recommendations are conducted a few years after the publication of the IPR at the request of the country.
These reports also help to evaluate the need for additional technical assistance and suggest additional actions to further assist economies.
