Turkmenistan Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Turkmenistan's government revenue was 13.82% in 2025, ranked 174th globally. This represents a 4.3% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1997–2025.
Overview
Turkmenistan's government revenue stood at 13.82% in 2025, a decline of +0.62% from 2024. The IMF projects 13.82% by 2025. Turkmenistan ranked 174th globally.
Turkmenistan’s government revenue has fallen sharply since the late‑1990s, slipping from an all‑time peak of 27.24 % of GDP in 1998 to a trough of 11.74 % in 2016, before modestly rebounding to 13.82 % in 2025, placing the country 174th in the global ranking. The 29‑year series shows a long‑term downward trajectory, with the most pronounced decline occurring during the early 2000s as hydrocarbon export earnings contracted and fiscal reforms lagged. By contrast, Indonesia, a peer with a similar ranking, recorded 13.73 % of GDP in the same year, suggesting that Turkmenistan’s recent recovery remains modest relative to comparable economies. The modest uptick since 2016 reflects higher tax compliance and limited diversification of non‑oil revenues, yet the level remains well below the 1998 peak. Continued efforts to broaden the tax base, improve collection efficiency, and reduce reliance on commodity cycles could further reverse the downward trend and sustain higher revenue shares in the coming years.
