Tajikistan’s mining sector amongst the energy transition: a beacon of hope for the national economy?

Tajikistan faces a growing trade gap as imports outpace exports, raising concerns about its economic stability. However, the country’s rich mineral resources, including gold, copper, and silver, present significant opportunities amid the global energy transition. With increasing demand for these elements from countries like China and India, Tajikistan could boost its exports and strengthen its economy. Yet, challenges such as infrastructure needs, debt issues, and social acceptance remain. Collaborating with international partners, particularly China, could help Tajikistan leverage its resources for greater economic growth.
