In the modern history of the Turkmen people, grandiose reforms, aimed at improving the welfare of citizens of the country through the fruitful development of the major sectors of the economy and the progressive growth of the service sector, are being implemented under the wise, far-sighted and progressive leadership of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The prospects for the comprehensive rapid development of the national economy are reflected in the Socioeconomic Programme of the President of Turkmenistan for 2019–2025.

Course on the sustainable development of national economy

In accordance with the deeply thought-out economic policy of our respected President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, large-scale work, aimed at ensuring sustainable economic growth, diversifying the national economy, developing market relations, raising the competitiveness of domestic producers, increasing welfare and improving the social and living conditions of the country’s population, is being carried out in the country. In order to maintain the high rates of socioeconomic development, the Government is taking targeted measures to reduce the impact of the difficult situation in the world economy on the economy of Turkmenistan. Thus, in July 2020, the National Programme on the Reduction of the Impact of Difficult Circumstances in the World Economy on the Economy of the Country and the Sustainable Development of the National Economy for 2020–2021, being of great importance in the implementation of the tasks defined in the Programme of the President of Turkmenistan on the socioeconomic development of the country for 2019–2025 and in the strengthening of the economic potential of the state as a whole, was adopted.

The banking sector – prospective projects and innovative solutions

In the modern history of the Turkmen people, under the wise, far-sighted and progressive leadership of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, large-scale reforms, aimed at strengthening financial stability through improving the activities of the banking sector based on a scientific approach and the best practices of first-class foreign banks, are carried out in the country.

Today, banks are one of the main financial intermediaries in the country’s economy. By carefully distributing financial flows among different segments of the economy, banks have a tremendous impact on the planned development of economic sectors. Accordingly, the progressive development of the entire economic system with all its connections and interdependencies depends on how stably and efficiently their activities will be organised. In this context, in order to ensure innovative activity in the process of modernising the Turkmen economy, particular importance is attached to expanding lending to the real sector of the economy, especially in the field of investment lending, which, in turn, is accompanied by the modernisation of both the entire financial sector and its most important part – the banking system of Turkmenistan.

For this purpose, Turkmenistan is implementing the Digital Economy Conception for 2019–2025 and the State Digital Economy Programme for 2021–2025. The Turkmen leader notes the transition to a digital platform is one of the key vectors of the state policy. Its main aim is to create an effective management system capable of meeting the needs of the economy and modern society.

Such recognition provides additional opportunities for our country in foreign economic activity, confirming its reliability as a trading partner.

In the system of the so-called all-Union cooperation, to a large extent (and based on modern realities), this was conditioned by the fact that Turkmenistan, in particular, ranks fourth in terms of natural gas reserves (15–20 trillion m3), second only to Russia itself, the USA and Canada.

In accordance with the economic strategy of the distinguished President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, large-scale reforms, aimed at diversifying industries and increasing exports of products in demand on world markets, are being implemented in Turkmenistan. World practice shows that industry plays the most important role in the development of the economy of any country. The national leader notes that despite the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the world, which led to a fall in the world economy, the closure of the borders of all states and a reduction in business contacts, Turkmenistan has maintained and ensured the growth of its economic activity. Its sustainability is ensured due to the balance between the supply from the industrial sector as a locomotive of the economy and domestic demand, supported by high rates of investments and real incomes of the population.
