Uzbekistan: General government final consumption expenditure (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Uzbekistan's general government final consumption expenditure (current US$) rose 30.3% on 2024 (from US$17.96 billion to US$23.39 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +6.8% and a typical year strayed about 17.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 35.2% in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 35.3% in 2017. 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 US$1.4 billion a year. A straight line explains 74% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Final consumption expenditure is expenditure on goods and services by resident institutional units for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. General government FCE includes all government current expenditures for purchases of goods and services (including compensation of employees), and most expenditures on national defense and security, but excludes government military expenditures that are part of government capital formation. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

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.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
