Tajikistan has proposed that Standard & Poor's raise its economic forecast.

On June 23, 2026, Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade Akhliddin Nuriddinzoda met with a mission of analysts from the international rating agency Standard & Poor's, who were on a working visit to the country, at the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Republic of Tajikistan. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Tajikistan.

During the meeting, Akhliddin Nuriddinzoda thanked the agency for maintaining Tajikistan's sovereign credit rating at a stable level and informed the mission members about the country's current socioeconomic situation, as well as measures to prevent and minimize the impact of potential risks on the national economy.

As noted at the meeting, despite the challenging global economic situation in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, thanks to the implementation of the orders and instructions of the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, macroeconomic stability was ensured in the country.

By the end of 2025, the real gross domestic product growth rate was 8.4%. Given that the country's economic growth has consistently exceeded 8% over the past five years, the Tajik side proposed that the international rating agency Standard & Poor's revise its forecast for the Republic of Tajikistan upward. The proposal was based on strengthening the national economy's medium-term resilience and was reportedly received positively by agency representatives.

In turn, members of the Standard & Poor's analyst mission praised Tajikistan's macroeconomic stability and economic achievements in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. They believe that despite the influence of external factors, the country has maintained high rates of national economic growth in recent years.

Following the meeting, the parties confirmed their readiness to further expand mutually beneficial cooperation.
