  10. Economy and Exports: Turkmenistan's economy depends heavily on production of natural gas, oil, petrochemicals and, to a lesser degree, cotton and textiles. The country remains one of the largest gas producers among the former Soviet republics. The country's key industries are still state-owned. In May 2010, the government adopted the National Program for Socio-Economic Development of Turkmenistan for 2011-2030. The program visualizes diversification of the economy and increased competition, and recognizes the importance of further market and institutional reforms. (US Dept. of State)

Communication Since President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov's policy of providing "Internet access to every home, school and kindergarten," has taken effect, the visibility of Turkmenistan's communication sector has also risen. However, Turkmenistan still struggles with their foreign communication due to inconsistent regulatory practices, and unfamiliarity with international business norms.
