Reforms in our country contribute to the rapid growth of trade relations with

foreign countries. In particular, decisions to increase the country's export

potential will allow local companies to gain more experience in foreign markets,

which, over time, will give them a competitive advantage in world trade.

of January-November 2019, the foreign trade turnover of the republic for the

reporting period amounted to 38,269.9 million US dollars and increased by

year. Of this number, exports reached 16,255.1 million US dollars (growth rate -

43.3%), and imports - 22,014.8 million US dollars (growth rate - 27.0%).

A passive balance of foreign trade in the amount of 5,759.7 million US dollars.

In dynamics, a stable ratio of the share of imports with the CIS countries

and other foreign countries remained, which was 33.7: 66.3.




According to the results of the reporting period, China ranked first among

the major import partner countries with a share of imports in the total volume

of 20.9%, ahead of the Russian Federation with a share of 16.7%.

Singapore (19th place) and the Czech Republic (18th place) were among

the top twenty major import partner countries due to the accelerated growth

in imports from the Republic of Uzbekistan (respectively, with a growth rate

of 7.6 rubles and 2, 5 p. More when compared with the same period last year).

Despite a decrease in imports compared with last year (89.4%),

Switzerland remained in 20th place among the top twenty major import partner

countries.

According to the results of January-November 2019, goods and services

were imported to the Republic of Uzbekistan from 156 countries.




Seven major partner countries (China, the Russian Federation,

the Republic of Korea, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Germany, and the United States)

account for 68.6% of total imports, representing more than 15,084.6 million

US dollars.




The volume of imports of services in January-November 2019 amounted

to 2 201.9 million US dollars, or 10.0% of total imports and increased by 8.5%

compared to the same period last year. The main share in the import of services

is travel (tourism).

Import of construction materials

In January-November 2019, the volume of imports of building materials

amounted to 1,216.0 million US dollars. The United States increased by 11.9%

compared to the same period in 2018. The share of imports of building materials

in their total volume reached 5.5%.

Wood and its products (45.6%), cement (12.1%), glass and products from

it (5.1%), as well as asbestos (2.4%) occupy the bulk of the structure of imports

of building materials.




As the infographic shows, the volume of imports of building materials

in January-November 2019, compared with the corresponding period in 2018,

increased significantly. The growth in imports of these materials is primarily

associated with large-scale construction and reconstruction work carried out

in the republic.

It is important to note that the growing volume of imports of machinery and

equipment is a reflection of the industrialization policy, as well as an active

reform to maintain foreign direct investment in the creation, modernization and

increase of production capacities.

Below is information about major partner countries exporting machinery,

equipment, chemical products to Uzbekistan and having a major share in the

country's imports.




Thus, it becomes obvious that as a result of large-scale reforms of the

foreign economic activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan and strong ties with the

countries of the world, the export potential of our state is growing.

Along with this, due to the creation of favorable conditions, the provision

of a number of tax and customs benefits to manufacturers, as well as in

connection with the modernization of industrial facilities and the production

of competitive products, prerequisites arise for an increase in the volume

of export of national products, which, in turn, allows domestic products to take

a strong position in foreign markets.
