According to the updated data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Tajikistan ranked last in Central Asia in terms of GDP per capita, which amounted to $1430 in 2025. This places the country among the lowest in the Eurasian region in terms of economic level, despite positive growth trends.

According to IMF forecasts, in 2026, Tajikistan’s GDP per capita will rise to $1800, indicating a steady improvement in the country’s economic situation, yet the figures will still be significantly lower compared to other Central Asian countries.

The Telegram channel Geostatistics reports that over the past 30 years, nominal GDP per capita in Tajikistan has increased 6.7 times. In 1995, this figure was only $214.

For comparison, other countries of the former USSR show significantly higher results. In Kazakhstan, where the economy continues to develop, GDP per capita in 2025 is $14,770, which is more than 10 times that of Tajikistan. In Turkmenistan, GDP per capita is $13,340, while in Uzbekistan this figure reaches $3510. 

The IMF calculates GDP per capita at current prices, which allows for an assessment of the overall level of welfare and purchasing power.
