Overview
Uzbekistan's reserves in months of imports stood at 6.6 in 2025, a decline of +3.7 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.6 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 24th globally.
Uzbekistan’s reserves in months of imports have fallen sharply over the 13‑year span covered by the World Bank data, sliding from an all‑time peak of 19.91 months in 2016 to a trough of 6.57 months in 2025, where it ranks 24th globally. The decline represents a reduction of roughly 66 percent and places the country only slightly above Macao SAR, China (6.53 months) and below Qatar (6.38 months), while remaining lower than Peru’s 7.20 months and Aruba’s 7.26 months. The steep contraction suggests that recent balance‑of‑payments pressures, weaker export earnings and higher import demand have eroded the buffer that once covered almost 20 months of trade. If Uzbekistan can diversify its export base, improve fiscal consolidation and attract stable foreign‑exchange inflows, the downward trajectory may be arrested and reserves could begin to rebuild, restoring a more comfortable import‑coverage cushion.
