Uzbekistan Attracts Over $150 Bn in Foreign Investment Amid Economic Surge
Over the past few years Uzbekistan has attracted more than $150 bn in foreign investments, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev shared during his speech at the Tashkent Investment Forum. He highlighted the rapid acceleration of these capital inflows by noting that $123 bn of the total figure was secured in the last five years alone.
«We are always open to investors interested in cooperating with Uzbekistan and ready for an equal and mutually beneficial partnership,» the president told the forum attendees.
Record economic projections for 2026
Looking to the future the national gross domestic product is projected to surpass the $180 bn mark by the end of 2026. The president credited this optimistic economic forecast to the country’s rapid domestic growth and a continuously improving business climate.
Mirziyoyev explained that in the face of shifting global economic dynamics and escalating international trade tensions foreign investors are actively adapting their strategies. As a result they are increasingly seeking out stable destinations that offer robust legal protections for business operations alongside sustainable economic growth and extensive opportunities for private entrepreneurship.
Recent milestones and financial stability
The president further emphasised that the ongoing «New Uzbekistan» framework continues to deliver systematic reforms designed to enhance the wider investment environment. Reflecting on the nation’s recent economic performance he shared several key statistics from 2025 that illustrate this steady upward trajectory.
During that year the national gross domestic product experienced a growth rate of 7.7% while the total volume of newly attracted investments reached $43 bn. Furthermore the country’s international financial reserves exceeded $70 bn. The government has also managed to maintain the long-term stability of the national currency to ensure a secure and predictable environment for future international trade.
