Summary

  • Uzbekistan named four priority sectors for international financial institution investment: transport connectivity, industrial cooperation, green energy, and the digital economy.

  • Transport topped the list, with Teshabaev highlighting the Trans-Afghan Transport Corridor as the shortest route from Central Asia to South Asian markets, alongside the Middle Corridor and North-South route.
  • The other three priorities target joint manufacturing and value-added processing, renewable power and grid upgrades, and AI-linked digital infrastructure including data centers, e-commerce, and workforce training.
