ANKARA, May 6. /Dunyo IA/. Uzbekistan’s attractive investment climate has come into the spotlight of the Turkish media, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.
In particular, “QHA” news agency published an article dedicated to the rapid growth of capital investment in the country's economy. According to the data presented, in the first quarter of 2026, fixed capital investment in Uzbekistan grew by nearly 30%, indicating unprecedented dynamics of economic development and increasing confidence from international partners.
The publication notes that during the first three months of this year, the total investment volume reached 156.3 trillion soums. The primary driver of such massive growth was foreign investment and external loans, which accounted for 107.5 trillion soums.
According to Turkish analysts, these indicators confirm Uzbekistan's status as a key regional economic hub, attracting global players to its developing sectors. Alongside external inflows, there is also notable activity in the domestic market - local businesses allocated 20.5 trillion soums of their own funds toward production modernization.
In addition to large corporate and state investments, a notable contribution from the population and the banking sector has been recorded. Personal investments by citizens reached 8.6 trillion soums, while commercial bank loans and other debt instruments totalled 4.2 trillion soums. The state provided additional support to projects by allocating 3.9 trillion soums from the budget, while the Uzbekistan Reconstruction and Development Fund provided financing amounting to 566.3 billion soums.
Turkish media outlets report that this historic capital inflow at the beginning of 2026 serves as a direct indicator of the success of the country's economic reforms and the high level of activity among all market participants.
