AGP Executive Report
Last update: 28 minutes agoCement Crunch: Tajikistan’s Industry Minister Sherali Kabir says cement plant prices stayed stable even as spring hikes hit later through intermediaries and retail, after a short April–late May disruption; production rose 13% in H1 and domestic demand jumped by about 700,000 tons while exports fell by around 300,000 tons, with the government stepping in via market inspections. Energy Pressure: With winter approaching, Tajikistan is cutting power exports and preparing for a colder-season deficit, while officials urge efficiency and possible temporary consumption limits. Air Quality Push: Tajikistan launched an official air-quality portal (airquality.meteo.tj) after objections to IQAir results, reporting “good” to “moderate” readings across several monitored cities. Fuel Crisis Fallout: Tajikistan is still heavily dependent on Russian petroleum products as regional shortages worsen, and the government is moving to subsidize diesel for farmers amid rising retail prices and reported station shortages. Migration Watch: Nearly 160,000 Tajik citizens are listed in Russia’s controlled persons register, reflecting tighter Russian migration enforcement. Security at the Border: Tajik authorities report 17 Afghan nationals killed in drug-smuggling clashes and record a rise in narcotics cases and seizures in the first half of 2026.
