Investment plans reported

Since 2017, Uzbekistan's economy has attracted $188 billion in investments from all sources, including $87 billion in foreign investments. This has increased the share of investments in GDP to over 30%, forming the foundation for sustainable economic growth.

In 2024, the volume of investments in the economy grew by 1.3 times, surpassing $36 billion. As a result, 560 large and medium-sized projects have been commissioned since the beginning of the year, with a total value of 70 trillion soums. This also laid the groundwork for increasing exports by $1 billion in the coming year.

These achievements can be further enhanced by leveraging emerging opportunities across various industries and regions.

At a recent meeting, the Minister of Investment, Industry, and Trade outlined plans for 2025. Next year, the goal is to attract $43 billion in investments. This will enable the implementation of over 300 large projects and the production of 662 new types of goods capable of competing with imports.

The head of state emphasized the importance of targeted engagement with foreign investors, creating favorable conditions for them, and ensuring the high-quality implementation of all agreements.

Currently, work is underway on 1,890 projects, with responsible managers appointed to accelerate their progress.

The meeting also addressed foreign trade issues. In the face of a challenging international environment, achieving success in this area demands concerted efforts. Export and logistics chains are becoming more complex, and demand for finished goods in key export markets is declining.

In these circumstances, the full mobilization of domestic resources is essential to accelerate economic growth. It was highlighted that the goal by 2030 is to double annual export volumes, reaching $45 billion.
