Franchising  in Tajikistan

Since 2006, the Tajik Government has regulated franchising activities through the Tajik Civil Code, part 2, article 49, “Commercial Concession Agreement.” Franchising opportunities may be discussed with the U.S. Embassy.

As of 2012, no U.S. franchises have opened in Tajikistan. There have been several inquiries from local Tajik companies about opening a McDonald’s and Starbucks franchise in Dushanbe but no further action has been taken.
