To support governments in Central Asia, the OECD has undertaken a regional analysis of the likely impact of COVID-19 on countries in the region, examining vulnerabilities and strengths, while also looking to share with our partners relevant OECD experience that might help them formulate their policy responses to the crisis. This high-level ministerial session provided a platform to discuss COVID-19 related challenges in Central Asia, allowing policy-makers from Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to learn from the experiences of their peers and of OECD members – from taxation and monetary policy to employment and education measures – and to chart a more co-ordinated course towards recovery.
