Uzbekistan’s foreign trade grows 16.3% in first four months of 2025
Uzbekistan’s foreign trade turnover reached $24.6 billion in January–April 2025, showing a 16.3% increase compared to the same period last year. Export growth and steady imports contributed to a sharp reduction in the trade deficit.
Uzbekistan’s foreign trade turnover rose to $24.6 billion in the first four months of the year, driven by strong export performance and a moderate rise in imports.
Exports surged by 35.1% and totaled $11.88 billion. The main contributor to this increase was gold, with $5.48 billion exported in total. Meanwhile, exports of textiles, automobiles, steel, and petroleum products declined.
Imports stood at $12.72 billion, marking a 2.9% year-on-year increase. As a result of this trade dynamic, Uzbekistan’s foreign trade deficit dropped significantly to $846.3 million, compared to $3.58 billion last year.
China remained Uzbekistan’s largest trade partner, with a turnover of $4.18 billion (up 5.6%), followed by Russia with $3.7 billion (down 3%). Kazakhstan ($1.39 billion), Turkiye ($834 million), and South Korea ($584.1 million) rounded out the top five, though only trade with Kazakhstan showed growth.
Other major trade partners included Afghanistan, France, Germany, India, and the UAE.
