Currently, the country, having entered a new stage of historical development, is successfully implementing the socioeconomic development programme initiated by the President within the Socioeconomic Development Strategy in 2022–2052. The main vectors of development include export orientation of the national economy. The economic strategy of the esteemed President gives an important place to the tasks of expanding trade opportunities and enhancing export potential.

Focus on Effectiveness and Quality

In the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State, great importance is attached to expanding mutually beneficial international cooperation and harnessing the potential of the country in the transport sector. The result is the growth rate in this sector of Turkmenistan’s economy. As was reported at the sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers on November 8, for the 10 months of 2024, the growth rate for the performance of work and services in the transport sector stood at 119.1 per cent, and the transportation of goods by all modes of transport – at 103.3 per cent. In general, the GDP growth rate in the transport sector stood at 6.7 per cent, which testifies to the important role of this sector in Turkmenistan’s economy. The freight forwarding companies – members of the Turkmen Logistics Association, make a worthy contribution to provide transport services. The Paýhas Ganaty Individual Enterprise, founded in 2023, specialises in transporting consolidated cargo by fully loaded vehicles and oversized cargo. For example, in August-October this year, Paýhas Ganaty performed the project rail transportation of 440 tonnes of tubing pipes from China to Hazar (Turkmenistan). The partners of Paýhas Ganaty are both local and foreign companies.

It has recently been put into operation, and its appearance became another important step in the field of processing the country’s wealth of raw materials. The fact is that liquorice has been collected in the Lebap velayat for over a hundred years, a significant part of which is exported as raw materials and extract.

Entrepreneurship is the Road to Prosperity

Today it is difficult to imagine the economy of Turkmenistan without private business. The non-state sector plays a significant role in modernising and diversifying sectors of the national economy, increasing the volume and expanding the range of high-quality and competitive products, ensuring food abundance and developing the country’s export potential, the respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasises. The potential of small and medium-sized businesses in Turkmenistan is evidenced by the fact that the share of the non-state sector of the economy, excluding the fuel and energy complex, in the country’s GDP is steadily increasing and has reached 70 per cent, and the private sector employs more than half of the employed population. Based on the strategic objectives of the Programme of the President of Turkmenistan of the socioeconomic development of the country in 2022–2028 and the National Programme of the President of Turkmenistan of transforming the social and living conditions of the population of villages, settlements, etrap towns and etrap centres for the period until 2028, the country’s entrepreneurs continue to consistently work to increase the manufacture of import-substituting and export-oriented products.

Indicators of the Turkmen Economy

The rapid economic growth, which is eloquently evidenced by the dynamic pace of the country’s development due to the diversification and modernisation of the economy, the carefully thought-out investment policy and the strengthening of the trade and financial sector, pleases with its scale and results. Today, comprehensive measures are being successfully implemented in Turkmenistan for the further progressive development of the country, which contributes to ensuring positive trends in all sectors of the economy and regions, and in terms of annual growth, the country takes one of the leading positions in the world.

Prospects of Transport Corridors

Transport corridors play an increasingly important role in global economic cooperation. The improvement of international transport and transit corridors passing through the territory of Turkmenistan is a key priority of the foreign policy of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. This is not accidental, since the transnational logistics sector is of great importance for joint efforts of our state and other countries of the world. Transport communications of Turkmenistan make it possible to deliver transit cargo to all countries of Europe and Asia. This is ensured by a well-developed system of logistics services – one of the major factors of a progressing economy. The prospects for bolstering transport cooperation not only on the Eurasian continent, but also with the world community significantly expand the transit potential of Turkmenistan. Therefore, the development of the necessary infrastructure – railway, sea, air and road transport and a communications network – gives a powerful impetus to the successful integration of the countries of the region into the global processes of economic development, increasing investment flows and facilitating effective cooperation in the context of intercontinental economic realities in the Eurasian space.

Major chicken meat supplier

The Nurly Meýdan farm produces broiler chickens of the ROSS-308 breed that is well known for high egg laying and fast growth rates. Today, this farm is a major chicken meat and table egg supplier in the country, maintaining its position as a producer of one-third of the total volume of chicken meat sold in the country. The breeding stock of egg-laying hens was brought into the country from Hungary several years ago. Now the automated incubator of the poultry farm, located in the Bereket etrap, Balkan velayat, is capable of receiving up to 12 million one-day-old chickens at the same time. In addition to eggs, the farm supplies 4,000-5,000 tonnes of dietary chicken meat annually. The high quality of the products allowed Nurly Meýdan to conclude supply contracts with the chain stores of ES Bereketli and Kämil market, the velayat departments of the Ministry of Trade and Foreign Economic Relations and the markets in Ashgabat. The production infrastructure is based on a poultry farm in Uzyn Suv settlement, which after privatisation and reconstruction made it possible to revamp and build a dozen of farms for 100,000 egg-laying hens. At that time, 20-30 million eggs were laid in an incubator, and the rest were sold and used to raise broilers and young birds. Europe-made equipment, installed at the farm, performs well in the climatic conditions of Turkmenistan. The local engineers solve
