Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) occupies the entire eastern part of Tajikistan, being the largest region of the country in terms of area. Almost the entire territory of GBAO is occupied by highlands, where the Pamir highland system is located. The article highlights some of the causes of the problems that caused the crisis in the region. A review of investment projects of international organizations on the territory of GBAO was carried out. It has been established that the leading sector of the region’s economy is agriculture and industry. The problem of attracting investments for the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region remains relevant and periodically rises at all levels. Nevertheless, no signifi success has yet been achieved. Experts associate barriers to investment in the region with economic, geographic and political characteristics, as well as the lack of capacity of local entrepreneurs to work with large-scale funding.

Горно-Бадахшанская автономная область (ГБАО) занимает всю восточную часть Таджикистана, являясь крупнейшим по площади регионом страны. Почти всю территорию ГБАО занимает высокогорье, где расположена высокогорная система Памир. Освещены некоторые причины возникновения проблем, вызвавшие кризисную ситуацию в области. Проведен обзор инвестиционных проектов международных организаций на территории ГБАО. Установлено, что, ведущей отраслью экономики региона является сельское хозяйство и промышленность. Проблема привлечения инвестиций для Горно-Бадахшанской автономной области остается актуальной и периодически поднимается на всех уровнях управления. Тем не менее, существенных успехов пока добиваться не удается. Эксперты связывают барьеры на пути к инвестициям в регион с экономическими, географическими и политическими особенностями, а также с отсутствием у местных предпринимателей потенциала работать с крупными финансированиями.
