Turkmenistan is seeking strategic and mutually beneficial cooperation with German financial institutions. The volume of joint projects with German banks has already reached about $700 million, said Serdar Yusupov, Deputy Head of the International Finance Department of the State Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of Turkmenistan, at the Days of Turkmenistan's Economy in Germany, according to the news website Turkmenportal.

S. Yusupov emphasised the reliability of partnerships with institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and the export credit agency Euler Hermes in implementing projects in key sectors of the country's economy, from textiles and medical industry to the oil and gas sector.

S. Yusupov noted the development of Turkmenistan's banking system, which offers corporate and retail loans, trade and project financing, bank cards, international payments and transfers. The country's banks are integrated into the national system of the Central Bank, SWIFT and the global payment networks VISA and Mastercard, comply with international standards for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and corruption, as well as the sanctions regimes of the UN, the US, the EU and the G7.

Turkmenistan intends to deepen its integration into the global economy and is open to new joint projects with Germany in the areas of financial services, investment, documentary business, trade finance, digitalisation of banking infrastructure and personnel training.

The Turkmenistan Economy Days are being held on 30–31 October in Frankfurt am Main, organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Turkmenistan and TMT Consulting Group.
