Based on the achievements of previous years, the Government has developed a “Program for the socio-economic development of Turkmenistan and investments in 2024”, which was approved by the Resolution of President Arkadaghly Hero Serdar.

The construction of the second stage of the city of the future - the city of Arkadag - will also continue.

Secondly, continued Chairman Khalk Maslakhaty, these are goals in the field of development of trade and services. Among them are the effective functioning of the economy, the profitability of commodity producers, the creation of new jobs, an increase in wages and incomes of the population leading to an increase in solvency, an increase in consumer demand for goods and users of various services in the markets. The policy of the President of Turkmenistan attaches great importance to this area, and here one of the main tasks was and remains the development of trade, transport, housing and communal services, social and other services for the population in order to meet the growing demand for food products and essential goods.

Thirdly, the goals of the Social Orientation Program, said the National Leader of the Turkmen people, emphasizing that much attention is paid to measures to create new jobs and thoroughly ensure social security of the population.

In December 2022, a comprehensive population and housing census was conducted in Turkmenistan, which resulted in a population of more than 7 million. This shows that compared to 2008, the population has increased by about 2 million. Demographic growth was achieved due to a significant improvement in the well-being and standard of living of our citizens.
