President of Uzbekistan Reviews Economic Performance and Sets Priorities
On April 24, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a video conference to review economic growth and outline priority tasks through the end of the year.

The meeting noted strong economic performance: GDP grew by 8.7%, industrial output by 8%, services by 16.1%, and agriculture by 5.1%. Exports reached $5.8 billion, total investment amounted to $13.7 billion, and inflation declined to 7.1%.

At the same time, rising external risks were highlighted, including a 40% increase in global oil prices, a 25–30% rise in logistics costs, and additional inflationary pressures. In this context, the need was emphasized to actively manage price factors, increase the supply of domestically produced goods, and respond promptly to emerging constraints.

Key priorities include keeping inflation at 6.5%, expanding support for small and medium-sized enterprises, bringing 100,000 hectares of agricultural land into use, improving industrial and export performance, and advancing digital solutions in economic management.

It was underlined that sustainable growth, job creation, and higher-quality investment remain the core policy priorities.
