Fitch International Rating Agency has raised the outlook of Uzbekistan's sovereign credit rating from "Stable" to "Positive". Official sources have reported this.
It was noted that in 2025, Uzbekistan's credit rating had been upgraded from BB- to BB. The agency's decision today is assessed as a logical continuation of this result recorded last year.
Fitch analysts highly assessed that, despite the complex global economic conditions, reforms in the energy sector, fiscal discipline, and privatization processes in Uzbekistan are being consistently continued.
According to the Head of the Presidential Administration, Saida Mirziyoyeva, a "Positive" outlook indicates that the country's rating could rise further in the near future.
"This is a strong signal to international partners for attracting more foreign investment to the country, obtaining cheaper resources from international financial markets, and ensuring economic stability," she wrote.
According to Saida Mirziyoyeva, the main goal of the systemic reforms being carried out under the leadership of the President is to improve the well-being of the population.
"The sole purpose of these systemic reforms being carried out under the leadership of our President is to improve the life and ensure the well-being of every compatriot. Together with our team, we will only move forward on this path," emphasized Saida Mirziyoyeva.
According to experts, at a time of increasing geopolitical and economic instability, Uzbekistan achieving such a result demonstrates that the chosen development path and economic reform strategy in the country are yielding results.
Also, economic stability and financial resilience are assessed as important factors that positively influence the development of education, healthcare, and social sectors.
