The EDB plans to develop end-to-end commodity distribution infrastructure through the KIMPs; this includes projects to establish and upgrade transport and logistics hubs and wholesale distribution centres in Tajikistan, in particular its FEZ, using innovative technology and service standards. In accordance with its 2026 Strategy, the Bank, in cooperation with the EEC, will carry out a comprehensive cross-country analysis of trade and existing infrastructure.
