At the beginning of April 2025, Uzbekistan's total external debt amounted to 68.4 billion dollars. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This information was provided by Kursiv media based on data from the Central Bank. As of January 1, 2025, the country's external debt was 64.1 billion dollars.
Of the total external debt, 35.8 billion dollars is state debt, while the remaining 32.6 billion dollars is the external debt of the corporate sector, i.e., companies. At the same time, the trade balance deficit decreased by one third within a year, falling to 2.6 billion dollars.
This situation is explained by an increase in export volumes and a stable level of imports. According to the Central Bank report, the volume of remittances increased in the first quarter of 2025.
As a result, the balance of primary and secondary incomes was positive. The indicators at the beginning of April amounted to 148.9 million dollars and 2.2 billion dollars, respectively.
Additionally, direct foreign investments in Uzbekistan reached 752.3 million dollars in the first quarter. This indicates that this figure has doubled compared to the same period last year.
