DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, February 9. Tajikistan is
making progress in improving collections and efficiency in the
electricity sector, Trend reports citing the International Monetary Fund
(IMF).
According to the IMF, Barki Tojik has shown a welcome
improvement in payment discipline during 2025, supported by the
rollout of smart metering and initiatives to reduce electricity
theft, which have produced encouraging results.
The Fund noted that some large state-owned consumers still lag
in payments, which affects the financial position of the
sector.
The IMF emphasized that further improvements in collection rates
and gradual tariff adjustments toward cost recovery will help
reduce quasi-fiscal losses and strengthen the sustainability of
Tajikistan’s electricity system.
Meanwhile, Tajik Prime Minister Kohir Rasulzoda announced at an
extended government meeting that government revenues in 2025
reached 60.3 billion somoni ($6.4 billion). This is 7 billion
somoni ($74.8 million) more than the planned target for the
reporting period.
