Creating and expanding growth opportunities in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is a country transformed. Over the past five years, a sweeping reform program has liberalized the national economy and spurred a period of unprecedented growth. From the establishment of an independent energy regulator to major privatization projects in strategic sectors from chemicals to banking, Uzbekistan’s economic restructuring is attracting investors from around the world.

What’s more, a burgeoning tech industry is testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurialism of Uzbekistan’s young, STEM-educated population and its culture of innovation.

Once a key node on the fabled Silk Road, Uzbekistan is reclaiming its place at the heart of global trade.

This comprehensive investment guide, developed in cooperation with PwC, provides an in-depth analysis of Uzbekistan’s investment climate, recent economic reforms, and opportunities across key sectors. It covers macroeconomic indicators, tax and customs regimes, legal framework, and business setup procedures.

Special focus is placed on strategic sectors such as agriculture, energy, oil & gas, ICT, textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Ideal for foreign investors, public institutions, and researchers, the document features investment success stories and detailed information on incentives within Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
