#Financing & Partnership24 September 2026

Turkmenistan's Foreign Ministry outlined the country's expanding financial partnerships

with international lenders at a briefing this month, highlighting transport connectivity as a recurring

theme across several institutions.

Atageldi Haljanov, head of the ministry's international economic relations department, said the

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development signed a series of memoranda in July covering

energy modernization, transport corridors, banking-sector strengthening and green-cities initiatives. He

added that the Islamic Development Bank maintains a $1.38 billion portfolio across 30 projects focused

on transport connectivity and trade finance, while the Asian Development Bank continues to implement

its 2024–2028 Country Partnership Strategy with Turkmenistan.

Officials described the institutions as long-term development partners whose technical expertise

supports the country's transport-infrastructure ambitions, alongside continuing engagement with the

International Monetary Fund and World Bank on macroeconomic and statistical reforms.
