ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Global food security is worsening, with 828 million people suffering from hunger in 2022; EDB analysts foresee high food prices persisting, but the Eurasian region has the potential to boost food production and exports, requiring improved infrastructure, logistics, and an inclusive approach to ensure food security.
The report highlights the strategic importance of effective water and energy management in the Aral Sea basin, which is home to 81% of Central Asia's population. Key issues include underinvestment, insufficient regional cooperation, and low water-use efficiency, with proposed solutions focusing on regional dialogue, institutional improvements, and increased research funding.
This study evaluates the investment potential of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), identifying over 40 barriers and recommending solutions to enhance its development. Key issues include infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of harmonized procedures, with an estimated $10.7 billion needed for priority projects, which could be financed through private investment and public-private partnerships to improve logistics and cooperation.

The report emphasizes the strategic importance of managing water and energy resources in the Aral Sea basin, highlighting issues like underinvestment and insufficient regional cooperation. It proposes solutions including regional dialogue, institutional improvements, and increased funding for inter-country research to enhance water and energy efficiency.
EDB analysts highlight Central Asia's significant economic growth, with its GDP increasing sevenfold in the last two decades and a rapidly expanding population providing a robust labor market. Despite impressive growth, the region faces structural challenges such as lack of access to the sea, resource dependence, and climate change, which require coordinated efforts in water and energy management, infrastructure development, and attracting FDI to non-commodity sectors.
