Background:
In 2025, Tajikistan adopted a new Law on Investments and Encouragement of Investment Activities. The law establishes the legal, institutional, and economic foundations of state policy in the field of investment promotion by ensuring the protection of investments and creating favourable conditions for entrepreneurial activities across the country. Pursuant to Resolution of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan No. 558 dated 31 October 2025, the SCISPM is designated as the authorized state authority responsible for the implementation of the Law. Paragraph 9, Article 14 provides for the development of the Rules governing the signing and implementation of an investment agreement, which shall be approved by a separate Resolution of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. In order to further improve the regulatory and legal framework governing investment activities and to enhance the transparency and predictability of procedures favouring the conclusion of the investment agreements between the Republic of Tajikistan and/or domestic foreign investors, the SCISPM has requested support from POiD in drafting the required bylaw. The bylaw will contribute to transparency and accountability of the parties in the implementation of investment projects and establish a stable and predictable regulatory and legal framework for investments. Moreover, a bylaw would further enable the harmonization of the national practice with international standards (OECD, UNCTAD, IFC).
Objective of Assignment:
