Earlier, Daryo reported that Uzbekistan’s road infrastructure is set for substantial growth. According to a World Bank report, there’s a projected increase of 486% by 2030 and a staggering 1,365% by 2050. Despite Uzbekistan’s annual infrastructure needs being projected at around 10% of GDP from 2018 to 2030, lower than neighbouring landlocked developing countries like Afghanistan (nearly 30% of GDP), Kyrgyz Republic (20%), and Tajikistan (15%), the country’s financing needs to bridge gaps in sectors such as transport, energy, ICT, and water and sanitation remain substantial.
