Answer:

You can summarize this

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1990s, Central Asia experienced many of the same hardships of economic transition as Central and Eastern European and other formerly communist countries, such as skyrocketing inflation, partial de-industrialization and the collapse of Soviet-type welfare systems. Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan still have not completed their transitions to a market economy. Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have joined the upper middle-income group, while Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan remain in the lower-middle income category.
