Wondering what the most popular ways to pay are in Turkmenistan? Explore the top payment options and choose wisely.
Turkmenistan, with a population of around 6.68 million people, has a GDP of approximately 89.05 billion making it the 79th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Turkmenistan is the Turkmenistani Manat (TMT)
The economy is almost entirely dependent on its vast natural gas reserves, which make up the majority of its exports. Its economic integration is dominated by its relationship with China, the main destination for its gas via pipeline.
The overwhelmingly primary method of payment for all transactions in Turkmenistan is physical cash, the Manat. The state-run card payment system, Altyn Asyr, is used for distributing salaries, but its use for purchases is limited by the number of available terminals. For official state and business dealings, bank transfers are used.
