About Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is an upper middle-income country which has experienced a robust economic growth in recent decade. The revenues from the export of the energy resources allowed the Government to invest into development of the non-hydrocarbon economy and build an infrastructure that would benefit country’s social and economic growth. As a result, the non-hydrocarbon sectors of the economy generated a strong domestic product gains and continue to grow over the medium term.
