DUSHANBE, January 17, 2015, Asia-Plus — Based on current data, the gross domestic product (GDP) for 2014 was 45.6 billion somoni, an increase of 6.7 percent over 2013 in comparable prices, according to the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT).
Meanwhile, the real GDP growth rate fell 0.7 percent last year compared to 2013, an official at Tajik central bank told Asia-Plus in an interview.
He attributed the fall in the real GDP growth rate to, first of all, global economic slowdown and deceleration of economic growth in the second half-year of 2014 in the countries, which are the major trading partners of Tajikistan.
We will recall that Tajikistan’s GDP rose 7.4 percent in a year to December 31 2013, reaching 40.5 billion somoni. In 2012, Tajikistan’s GDP rose 7.5 percent.
