The European Investment Bank (EIB) has allocated €100 million for the implementation of transport projects in Tajikistan, according to the country's Ministry of Transport.
Tajikistan's Minister of Transport, Azim Ibrahim, met with an EIB delegation led by Mr. Edwardas Head of EIB Asia and Pacific Division.
The meeting reportedly focused on the development of bilateral cooperation, including the implementation of transport infrastructure projects.
The allocated funds will be used for modernizing infrastructure and improving the accessibility of transport services, which is expected to contribute to economic development and strengthen regional integration.
The support for transport projects is outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Tajikistan and the EIB. The document was first presented at the Investor Forum on Sustainable Transport Links between Europe and Central Asia, part of the European Union’s Global Gateway initiative, in January 2024 in Brussels. The MoU was signed by both parties on April 4, 2025.
EIB representatives expressed interest in further developing cooperation under this MoU and noted that priority regional transport projects would be proposed for financing.
