Uzbekistan's non-performing loans have been steadily increasing since 2011, when they reached an all-time trough of 0.71%. By 2010, the figure had risen to 0.97%, and by 2025, it peaked at 5.30%, ranking #42 globally. This increase has been a gradual process, with a steady climb over the past 15 years. Belarus, a peer country, shares a similar trend, with its non-performing loans also peaking at 5.31% in 2025. In contrast, Mauritius has maintained a lower non-performing loan rate, at 5.22% in 2025. The recent increase in Uzbekistan's non-performing loans may be attributed to various factors, including economic instability and a lack of effective credit risk management. A significant improvement in the banking sector's efficiency and a shift towards more prudent lending practices would be necessary to reverse this trend and stabilize the non-performing loan rate.
