The State Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of Turkmenistan is set to broaden its cooperation with the international agency Fitch Ratings. Deputy Chairman of the Turkmen Cabinet of Ministers for Economic and Financial Affairs Hojamyrat Geldimiradov reported on the preparation of a relevant agreement during an expanded government meeting on Saturday hosted by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. 

Enhancing collaboration with well-established rating agencies will play a significant role in attracting increased foreign investment, streamlining credit terms, and advancing Turkmenistan's foreign economic activities, Turkmen media reports.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasised deepening the partnership between the Turkmen State Bank of Turkmenistan and global rating agencies. The head of state noted that the international ratings awarded to Turkmenistan by Fitch Ratings will enhance the international financial prestige of the country. The head of state instructed the Deputy Prime Minister to carry out consistent work in this direction.
