Tajikistan has potential for growth in most sectors, which would benefit from modern technology and management techniques.

The government supports greater movement towards industrialization and manufacturing, and away from primarily agricultural operations. Mining and mineral extraction are primary sectors now, but the government is interested in expanding refining. This has potential not only for the mining, refining, and manufacturing sectors, but also for business management, advisory, and consultant companies.

Agriculture practices would benefit from deployment of modern irrigation, pest control, and fertilization methods. Expanding sectors around agriculture would include food processing, dry and cold storage, food preservation, and logistics support. With less than four percent of its land classified as “arable” due largely to the dry climate and mountainous terrain, there is potential to improve the quality of marginal lands through terracing, soil improvement, irrigation efficiency, etc.

Power generation and distribution are growth fields. Tajikistan’s primary national project, the Roghun Dam HPP project, will add another 3.6 GW of electricity to Tajikistan’s capacity – well beyond its forecast domestic usage. Transmission and distribution through the country is an ongoing program. Additionally, microgrids capable of powering remote rural areas distant from the established network are potential markets. There are few solar plants in the country, but Tajikistan has over 300 sunny days a year, and terrain unsuitable for agriculture can be used to house solar farms.

With its declaration of 2025–2030 as the Years of Digital Economy and Innovation Development, the Government plans to roll out 5G technology, fully digitalize public services, integrate artificial intelligence, and establish the University of Innovation and Digital Technologies as a hub for IT talent. The government has also launched a National Program on E-Commerce (2025–2029) with international support, prioritizing broadband expansion, reducing transaction costs, and promoting non-cash transactions.

The Ministry of Finance and the National Bank of Tajikistan are eagerly pursuing electronic payment systems, automatic accounting and payments technologies, and other advances that allow greater accounting of economic activity for taxation and assessment purposes. Tajikistan’s fintech sector, led by Alif Bank, is thriving, offering innovative financial solutions and earning international recognition, while initiatives like the Digital Agriculture Program aim to modernize agrifood systems using advanced digital tools.
