Tajikistan's economy provides a number of opportunities for exporters and investors. With a population of 8.1 million and number of potentially sizeable infrastructure, mining, and tourism projects, Tajikistan has the potential to become a notable market for U.S. exporters. Tajikistan is the world's 139th economy with expected per-capita GDP of $$1,050 in 2013. Approximately half of Tajikistan's two million working-age males labor at least part of the year in Russia and other CIS countries, often for less than the local minimum wage and under difficult working conditions. Tajikistan's economy is still facing major economic issues left from the 1992-1997 Civil War, despite GDP growth of 7.4% in 2013. Tajikistan may face more economic problems if sanctions imposed against Russia cause its economy to contract. Experts forecast 6.2% real GDP growth and 5.4% inflation in 2014.
