The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) supported the preparation of Turkmenistan’s Digital Economy Development Concept and the State Programme for 2026–2028. UN Resident Coordinator in Turkmenistan Dmitry Shlapachenko told the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper in an interview.
With UNDP support, innovations were introduced in financial reporting and in methodologies for implementing the System of National Accounts, he said. Customs risk management was strengthened as part of efforts to establish a “Single Window” system for export and import operations.
Shlapachenko described a pilot project to introduce an electronic equivalent of the SMGS railway consignment note using UN/CEFACT standards as an important step.
