In the export of goods, Kazakhstan accounts for 28.3 percent of total exports.

The economy of Tajikistan, undermined by the civil war of the early 1990s, has undergone a period of rehabilitation for a long time, until finally, in the second half of 1997, macroeconomic stability was established. Trade was liberalized, state control over prices was cancelled, the budget deficit was reduced to a minimum, regular currency trading was resumed.

Today, as a result of all economic reforms, the country's economy is gradually recovering. For example, today the share of non-state sector in the total volume of gross agricultural production is more than 80 percent.

Support and development of medium and small businesses is an essential component of economic reforms and one of the priorities of the Tajik Government. The state budget provides funds for the formation and development of investment and market structures to support small and medium-sized businesses.
