Turkmenistan is carrying out a systematic and gradual transition to a market economy. With this, the country increases import-substitution manufacturing, ensures internal market supply with high-quality domestic goods competitive to foreign ones, and improves the export potential of the national economy by increasing the share of the private sector.
