The government of Tajikistan has given a lot of emphasis to foreign investments for the development of new industrial activities as well as modernizing the existing ones. Industrial productivity, business environment and infrastructure are the key improving factors of the potential attractiveness of the country.

Infrastructure, energy, mining, banking and agribusiness are some of the sectors that are currently attracting most of the foreign investment. Tourism is also revealing its potential increasingly. Tajikistan offers a favorable climate to regional and cross-border investments. The main five investing countries so far are China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Russia has greatly invested in the construction of medium capacity hydroelectric central power plants and also in the banking sector. China is currently financing the construction of a road connecting the country with the Chinese city Xinjiang and the construction of three hydroelectric power plants. Several Western Europe, US and Middle East based companies have now Tajikistan on their radar screen.
