When presenting the Strategy, Deputy Minister of Economy and Trade, Umed Davlatzod, said that the document is aimed to reduce poverty, create favorable conditions for the development of the middle class and increase the total number of people with average income.
According to the expected scenario, which is reflected in the Strategy, poverty level in Tajikistan is expected to fall from 38.3% in 2012 down to 31.5% in 2015, while the middle class (in line with average international standards) will raise from 19.5% up to 29.4%.
According to the Strategy, at least 30% of Tajikistan’s population represent the risk group. These people have equal chance to join the poor or the middle class. Therefore, the Strategy is aimed to help these people join the middle class.
