Tajikistan - Project FinancingTajikistan-Project-Financing
Most Tajik companies and government agencies have very limited experience in financing for investment or acquisition. Tajik Government’s preference continues to be state led Chinese funded loans. It is critical for U.S. companies interested in doing business in Tajikistan to assist in setting up financing. U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation is the major potential project-financing tool for U.S. companies in Tajikistan. Historically OPIC funded 10 projects with $40 million financing in microfinance, education, non-profit operation and agriculture. Currently OPIC has $32 million worth of projects and $53 million in pipeline. Domestic financing from private venture companies and investment banks is not available. For large-scale projects, however, financing may be available from international financial institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Financing for feasibility studies may be available from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (see contact information below, under Web Resources). Interested U.S. companies should also consider other sources of financing outside of Tajikistan. Lease financing has potential as a possible future approach for marketing equipment, vehicles, and other large capital items.
