Although regulation has improved in line with recommendations of the 2007 financial sector assessment program (FSAP), supervision and enforcement have been lagging behind. The widespread solvency problems in the sector must be addressed head-on and the authorities should be jointly prepared to cope with the worst. As the current banking sector development strategy is ending, the main stakeholders in financial policy should develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses issues in achieving greater financial stability, efficiency, and inclusion in Tajikistan.
