Tajikistan has been developing its trade and service sectors to
expand business opportunities, improve access to consumer goods and
create employment. Private-sector investment in commercial
infrastructure is one of the ways local entrepreneurs contribute to
economic activity in the country’s cities and regions.


The development of retail and service facilities also supports
small and medium-sized businesses by providing premises for
commercial operations and related services. Such projects can
contribute to local employment and expand the range of services
available to residents.
