The Tajikistan Trade Portal which was developed by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and International Trade Centre with financial support of the Government of Switzerland and other development partners, namely the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the United Nations Development Programme and publicly introduced on 26 April 2019 was highly ranked by the publication and described as an exemplary platform for reducing time and costs of export, import and transit, as well as making the non-tarrif measures simplified and transparent.
