Abstract:

Small and medium-sized business plays a crucial role in ensuring the dynamic and sustainable development of the national economy, because it performs important socioeconomic functions. The transition to the model of socially oriented market economy in the Republic of Tajikistan led to changes in the structure of the national economy that manifested in the emergence of new types of economic activities and massive involvement of the private sector in solving social and economic problems of the country’s development. The transport sector is one of the key sectors of any economy. In modern conditions, development of small and medium enterprises in the transport sector of the Republic of Tajikistan faces a number of challenges. The study details the main groups of problems of small and medium-sized businesses in the national transport sector including legal, administrative, and economic ones. In addition, the authors propose directions for developing small and medium enterprises in the transport sector of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Keywords: small and medium-sized business; small and medium-sized enterprises; entrepreneurship; the Republic of Tajikistan; transport; passenger transport services; development mechanism.
