Orienbonk at the C5+1 Summit: from financial engagement to Tajikistan’s largest aviation deal
Tajikistan’s participation in the C5+1 «Central Asia — U.S.» summit in Washington highlighted the country’s growing involvement in concrete commercial and investment initiatives, with a prominent role played by Orienbonk, one of the nation’s leading financial institutions, says press release issued by Orienbonk.
The C5+1 format has reportedly evolved into a key platform for regional cooperation between the U.S. and Central Asian nations. This year’s summit not only focused on security and sustainable development but also on tangible economic partnerships and infrastructure investments.
Orienbonk was represented by its Chairman of the Board, Hasan Asadullozoda. He held meetings with U.S. companies and regional partners, exploring opportunities for collaboration in infrastructure financing, digital banking services, trade corridors, and capital markets.
The bank emphasized its position as a century-old institution capable of supporting large-scale national projects.
Somon Air and Boeing: a landmark deal
One of the most significant announcements of the summit was a major agreement between Tajikistan’s Somon Air and U.S. aerospace giant Boeing. The deal includes a planned order of up to 14 aircraft — both wide-body Boeing 787 Dreamliners and narrow-body Boeing 737 MAX models.
It marks the largest aircraft order in Somon Air’s history and its first move into long-haul operations. Boeing confirmed that the deal will support over 11,000 jobs across the United States.
As Somon Air’s strategic financial partner, Orienbonk played a key role in structuring the financial side of the deal, assessing its debt sustainability, funding needs, and overall macroeconomic impact.
A multi-layered impact for Tajikistan
The deal carries strategic significance on multiple levels:
· Transport: Modern aircraft will enable new direct international routes, boosting tourism, logistics, and mobility.
· Financial & Institutional: The project requires adherence to global standards of governance, transparency, and compliance.
· Reputational: The scale of the deal signals Tajikistan’s capability to engage in long-term, large-scale international ventures.
Orienbonk remains committed to supporting projects that contribute to Tajikistan’s deeper integration into the global economy.
