Central Asia, a vast and geopolitically significant region nestled between Europe and Asia, presents a wide range of diverse cultures, landscapes, and economic potential. However, beneath this façade of promise lies a growing concern – the pervasive impact of illicit trade. Central Asia, with its strategic location at the crossroads of major trade routes and evolving economies, has become a fertile ground for a wide spectrum of illicit activities. From the illegal trafficking of goods and the exploitation of natural resources to the intricate networks of money laundering and transnational crime, the region faces substantial challenges in its struggle against these illicit practices.
