Uzbekistan: Exports of goods and services (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Uzbekistan's exports of goods and services (% of GDP) rose 0.47 percentage points on 2024 (from 21.57% to 22.04%).

Across the 27 yearly changes before that (1998 to 2024), the average change was −0.21 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 4.55 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 7.32 percentage points in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 12.89 percentage points in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.73 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 33% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Exports of goods includes changes in the economic ownership of goods from residents of the compiling economy to non-residents, irrespective of physical movement of goods across national borders. Exports of services includes services provided by residents to non-residents. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Limitations: Because policymakers have tended to focus on fostering the growth of output, and because data on production are easier to collect than data on spending, many countries generate their primary estimate of GDP using the production approach. Moreover, many countries do not estimate all the components of national expenditures but instead derive some of the main aggregates indirectly using GDP (based on the production approach) as the control total. Data on exports and imports are compiled from customs reports and balance of payments data.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
