2022-04-20 20:53:04 Will Russia take advantage of the largest offer in the history of the modern Uzbek economy?

Tashkent has decided to carry out a large-scale privatization of the fuel and energy complex. The country is being rebuilt on market rails and accelerates the process of entering the world economy.

Privatization as a tool of economic management plays a significant role in the formation of the "Uzbek miracle", experts say.

Russia, China, Turkey and a number of other countries may show interest in investing in the Uzbek oil and gas industry.

Russia is the largest trading partner of Uzbekistan. Previously, she was present in the country's fuel and energy complex, but this presence was not dominant.

In the current conditions, there is a negative external factor. These are anti-Russian sanctions. As far as the Uzbek authorities will be interested in Russian capital, the decision is up to Tashkent. However, experts are confident that Russia's participation will be beneficial to both sides.
