At a meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the results of Uzbekistan's economic development for 2024 were discussed. It was reported that the gross domestic product grew by 6.5%, while industrial production increased by 7.2%.

The agricultural sector saw a 4.1% growth, and the services sector expanded by 8.3%. Investment volume rose by 12% to reach $35 billion.

The president set a target for economic growth of 6.8% in 2025. Additionally, plans include keeping inflation within 5-6% and increasing exports to $30 billion.

Experts note that despite the positive indicators, risks remain due to external economic pressures and internal structural issues. In particular, energy supply disruptions and water resource shortages could negatively impact certain sectors of the economy.
