Uzbekistan At-A-Glance

Robust growth of the Uzbek economy is expected to continue at about 5% in 2018–19, but job creation may take longer to pick up, as investments may not return quickly to their pre-2017 level. Fiscal activity and bank credit are projected to become less expansionary than in the past to help reign in inflation, which is expected to remain elevated as liberalized prices continue to adjust.
