GDP growth accelerated to 6.0% year on year in January–December versus 5.6% in January–September. Solid expansions in the services and construction sectors spearheaded the upturn. Industrial output also recorded a strong increase last year, chiefly on the back of rising manufacturing production. In contrast, agricultural activity rose at a more modest cumulative pace in 2023 versus 2022. Meanwhile, fixed investment soared by nearly a quarter in 2023, while a strong rise in retail trade pointed to solid private spending growth. In January, Uzbekistan signed an agreement with China, pledging to boost their trade turnover to USD 20 billion in the coming years from last year’s USD 14 billion. Moreover, China offered closer cooperation on various infrastructure projects, including the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway which would bypass Russia, boding well for GDP growth ahead.
