Uzbekistan's Economic Growth Faces Risks from Global Slowdown and Structural Challenges
The economic report on Uzbekistan for 2013-2014 shows that the country's growth is mainly influenced by global commodity prices. Despite risks from a weak global economy, Uzbekistan's economy is expected to remain stable due to factors like high fiscal savings and ongoing investments. However, challenges like a poor business environment and high tariffs may deter Western investors. Inflation is predicted to stay around 7%, with risks from a possible slowdown in Russia and weak structural policies internally. Overall, Uzbekistan's economy is expected to continue growing in the short term, but long-term sustainability may be hindered by these challenges.
