According to the National Statistics Committee, as of November 1, 2025, Uzbekistan hosts 17,595 enterprises with foreign capital, including 4,204 joint ventures and 13,391 wholly foreign-owned enterprises.

Over the past five years, the number of such enterprises has nearly doubled, underscoring the sustained confidence of international investors and the effectiveness of reforms aimed at improving Uzbekistan’s investment climate.

Tashkent City accounts for the largest share of foreign enterprises — 34%, followed by Tashkent Region (9.2%) and Samarkand Region (8.5%). This concentration reflects both the capital’s strong investment appeal and the growing development of new industrial centers across the country.

The majority of foreign-invested enterprises operate in trade (6,286), industry (3,647), construction (1,358), and information and communications (1,354).

Among partner countries, China leads with 4,731 enterprises, followed by Russia (3,177), Turkey (2,090), Kazakhstan (1,185), and South Korea (683).

The steady growth of foreign-invested enterprises reaffirms Uzbekistan’s position as one of Central Asia’s leading destinations for international capital. Consistent reforms promoting economic liberalization, investor protection, and infrastructure modernization continue to strengthen the foundations for long-term foreign business presence in the country.
