“Uzbekistan’s gross domestic product (GDP) exceeded €133bn in 2025, placing the country among the world’s 60 largest economies, according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund, cited by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in his year-end address. Nine years ago, Uzbekistan’s economy was valued at around €56bn, showing steady expansion over the past decade.

Economic growth has been accompanied by higher household incomes. According to President, GDP per capita reached €3,220 in 2025, compared with €1,750 in 2017.

President Mirziyoyev said that in 2025, about five million people gained a stable income, while at the same time, 1.5 million people moved above the poverty line.

Rising incomes have increased consumer spending. Five years ago, residents purchased around 210,000 apartments and 600,000 cars per year. In 2025, these figures rose to 270,000 homes and one million vehicles, reflecting stronger demand in the housing and automotive markets.”
