The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) confirmed its readiness to expand cooperation with Turkmenistan at the ‘IFT 2026’ international investment forum, focusing on the development of public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms. This was reported by IIC.

According to Eric Livny, Head of the EBRD’s Representative Office in Turkmenistan, this model is effective for modernising infrastructure and stimulating economic growth. PPPs offer businesses the opportunity to participate in large-scale state programmes, sharing risks and resources between the state and the private sector.

The introduction of such mechanisms attracts foreign investment and facilitates the adoption of modern technologies in key sectors. Turkmen construction companies are already actively adopting this model, and joint projects with the EBRD will provide access to long-term financing and strengthen international competitiveness.

The development of PPPs is seen as an important step towards building a sustainable and diversified economy for the country.
