Uzbekistan’s economy is set to expand by 6.5 percent by the end of 2025, driven by rising household income and sustained investment, according to the Eurasian Development Bank.
Uzbekistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to grow steadily in 2025, local media reported on Thursday, citing an economic outlook from the Eurasian Development Bank.
The report attributes the country’s continued growth to increasing household income and a surge in investment focused on sustainable development. These factors are expected to underpin further economic resilience and modernisation.
Inflation in Uzbekistan is also projected to decline, with the rate possibly falling to 8.1 percent in 2025. Lower inflation could ease cost-of-living pressures and support real wage growth.
The Uzbek presidential press service recently confirmed that GDP grew by 6.5 percent in 2024, reflecting consistent momentum in the country’s reform-driven economic agenda. Structural improvements, diversification efforts, and foreign investment have all contributed to Uzbekistan’s positive outlook.
