Uzbekistan’s GDP Grows 7.2% in H1 2025 — EDB

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Uzbekistan’s GDP increased by 7.2% in the first half of 2025, according to the macroeconomic review by the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).

Bank analysts note that this growth was driven by dynamic development across all key sectors of the country’s economy, supported by strong consumption and export performance.

Inflation in Uzbekistan is steadily declining and approaching the target level, allowing the central bank to maintain moderately tight monetary conditions. Since March 2025, the key policy rate has been held at 14%, and the EDB expects this level to be maintained until the end of the year amid continuing reductions in inflationary pressures.

The EDB highlights that high investment activity in the region, including in Uzbekistan, provides additional sources of economic growth.

A balanced mix of domestic and foreign investments contributes to the economy’s adaptability to changing global conditions.
