Abstract:

Analysis of economic development is an important procedure to assess effectiveness of the chosen strategy, applied policies and measures for any economy. Tajikistan as a developing country has gone through drastic structural changes after it`s independency in 1991 followed by severe internal conflicts until it went out to the path of steady economic growth. This thesis analyzes modern period of economic development of Tajikistan after the country finalized its transformation from planned to market economy and got able to be integrated into international economic relations. As a starting point author identifies main indicators that can be used to effectively evaluate economic development by reviewing related literature from different economic schools as well as established world institutions. Further these finding are applied to assess current state of the economy of Tajikistan, it`s evolution in the last decade and compare findings with performance of other countries from various development levels. Author discusses about strong and weak points, and possible opportunities of Tajikistan economy and comes to conclusion that even with comparably good development results there is a need for a breakthrough to achieve significant improvements in quality of life. This is possible with attraction of investment which is tied to the improvement of socioeconomic and institutional structures, rather than direct economic policies.
