Asian Development Bank and Uzbekistan: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | July 2006
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Uzbekistan as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. Uzbekistan, with its 26.3 million people, is the most populous of the Central Asian republics and one of two double-landlocked countries in the world. The location means that access to markets, trade facilitation, and regional infrastructure are important issues for the country’s development. Agriculture has been a mainstay of an economy which, as well as being one of the world’s biggest suppliers of cotton, produces oil and gas, gold, some industrial products, and processed food. However, Uzbekistan is one of the poorer former republics of the Soviet Union. Although the national poverty rate is 26.2%, poverty incidence is higher in rural areas.
