IMF announces macroeconomic prognosis for Turkmenistan
The International Monetary Fund expects that Turkmenistan's economic growth will hit 10.1 percent in 2013 and 10.7 percent in 2014, the fund's statement, published on Nov.12, said.
"Sustainable economic growth is being observed in 2013 which is caused by high growth rates in the non-hydrocarbon sector being fueled by a large volume of state investments, said the statement. The report also said that the sharp and steady decrease of world energy prices presents the highest possible risk to Turkmenistan's economic growth. In addition, there are risks related to the delays in growth rates of China and Russia, which are Turkmenistan’s largest trade partners.
