The State Committee of Turkmenistan on Statistics and the World Bank have signed a consulting cooperation agreement for 2026–2027 aimed at modernizing the national statistical system and introducing digital solutions. This was reported by the IIC.
The project also envisages aligning macroeconomic indicators with the international 2025 System of National Accounts (SNA-2025) standard. Within the framework of the cooperation, updates are planned for methodologies used to calculate GDP, price indices, and purchasing power parity. Special attention will be given to the digitalization of data collection through a transition to the CAPI system and the use of the Survey Solutions platform.
The implementation of the program is expected to improve the accuracy and transparency of statistics, as well as ensure its integration into international reporting. Training of specialists and pilot studies are also planned.
