Canadian companies have an abundance of potential opportunities to explore when doing business in or with Tajikistan. As a developing economy, Tajikistan is open to foreign investment and has numerous incentives for foreign companies. These incentives include reduced corporate income tax and a liberal approach to foreign ownership and profits repatriation policies. Moreover, the country has a pro-business environment that allows businesses to register their operations quickly and access local infrastructure with ease.
In addition, Tajikistan’s strategic geographic location between China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan makes it an ideal position for Canadian companies looking to expand into Central Asia or other parts of the world. The country is rich in natural resources like hydropower energy, minerals, gold deposits and oil reserves that are ripe for exploitation by foreign investors. Furthermore, its rapidly growing population provides a vast market for consumer goods which Canadian companies can tap into by setting up local offices or factories in the region.
Finally, Tajikistan’s free trade agreements with members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) could provide further expansion opportunities for Canadian companies looking to access new markets with reduced tariffs. In particular, EAEU members such as Armenia and Kyrgyzstan have established close ties with Canada through their respective embassies which could help facilitate business dealings in Tajikistan on both sides.
