Overview
Uzbekistan's fdi outflows stood at 0.03% in 2025, a decline of +0.01% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.03% by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 133rd globally.
Uzbekistan’s foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows have remained modest, registering a value of 0.03 % of GDP in 2025, which places the country at rank 133 globally and ties it with Nigeria’s 0.03 % share. The indicator has shown little variation over the 21‑year series, rising from 0.02 % in 2005 to an all‑time peak of 0.03 % in 2024 before briefly falling to a trough of 0.00 % in 2018. Compared with regional peers, Tunisia’s outflows stand at 0.02 % and Algeria’s at 0.04 %, suggesting that Uzbekistan’s outward investment remains below the higher‑end of the peer group. The limited upward movement reflects a domestic environment where outward capital deployment is constrained by relatively low corporate profitability and a focus on internal development projects. Should regulatory reforms ease capital controls and improve access to international financing, the modest upward trajectory could accelerate, potentially lifting Uzbekistan’s outflow share above its current plateau.
