Overview

Uzbekistan's economy grew by 8.2% in 2012, nearly as quickly as in 2011, driven by strong performance in all production sectors, continuing public investment, and high remittances and public sector wage increases, which boosted private consumption.

ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS), 2012-2016, for Uzbekistan aligns with the country's Welfare Improvement Strategy for 2012-2015. The CPS supports infrastructure development focused on transport and communication, energy, water resources and water supply, and other municipal infrastructure and services; and access to financial services.
