- Enhancement of competitiveness by strengthening the role of the private sector’s role in the economy

The EBRD strategy for Uzbekistan recognises the need to strengthen the country’s path to reform, expand the role of civil society, provide greater freedom to mass media and promote women’s entrepreneurship.
The EBRD continues working on the improvement of the investment climate in Uzbekistan by facilitating the activity of the Foreign Investors’ Council, which is serving as a platform for dialogue between foreign investors and the authorities fostering reforms.
The Bank also continues providing support for Uzbekistan’s green transition. Its investment contributes to a long-term decarbonisation plan that the EBRD and the government of Uzbekistan have jointly developed and which aims to achieve a carbon neutral power sector by 2050.
