Overview
Uzbekistan's fdi inflows stood at 2.38% in 2025, a decline of +0.21% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.38% by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 106th globally.
Uzbekistan's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have experienced a mixed trend over the past three decades, with fluctuations driven by various economic and geopolitical factors. The country's all-time peak of 3.44 billion USD in 2019, a 48.57% increase from the 1992 starting point of 0.07 billion USD, was largely attributed to the government's efforts to attract foreign capital through liberalized economic policies and strategic investments in key sectors such as manufacturing and infrastructure. In contrast, the 1995 trough of -0.18 billion USD marked a low point in Uzbekistan's economic recovery following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Currently, with a ranking of 106 globally, Uzbekistan's FDI inflows have declined to 2.38 billion USD. Compared to its peers, such as Tanzania with 2.43 billion USD, Uzbekistan's FDI inflows remain relatively stable. However, a significant shift in the country's economic trajectory could be triggered by improvements in its business environment, particularly in areas such as ease of doing business and regulatory compliance.
