In 2025, Uzbekistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 7.7 percent and exceeded 147 billion dollars. More than half of the economic growth was accounted for by the services sector. In agriculture, the average income per hectare increased from 4,500 to 5,000 dollars, while labor productivity grew by 4.7 percent. This was announced at a February 13 government meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The meeting outlined key priorities for sustaining high economic growth in the country.
In 2026, Uzbekistan plans to increase GDP to 167 billion dollars, with an expected economic growth rate of 6.6 percent. The plan is based on a conservative forecast formed considering the current geopolitical situation and external economic volatility.
This year, the country aims to attract 50 billion dollars in foreign investment, and new projects must primarily facilitate the production of export-oriented products with high added value.
